This paper describes some experiences
obtained in the Reading Aloud Workshop for the
Zapotec region of Yautepec, Oaxaca (2017), whose
goal was to support an indigenous education
teachers group with the socialization of the reading
aloud technique in dizdea language (Zapotec).
Specifically, the use of this literary practice to
develop transactional reading and to reactivate the
oral storytelling tradition in endangered indigenous
languages. The description presents three axes:
writing, reading and oral storytelling, which are
considered integral elements —but not the only ones—
in the promotion and revitalization of indigenous
languages from written or alphabetic supports
