In this paper, we describe a work experience in initial teacher training in which from the disciplines of Educational Process II and Language Teaching II we asked our university students what kind of typefaces they see in society and whether these are also those working in schools with students who are learning to read and write. http://pubs.sciepub.com/education/2/8A/3/education-2-8A-3.pdf typography Elementary Education Child Education Educational Process Language Teaching
