The text aimed to understand the relationship between the difficulties in the literacy process in the early grades of elementary school in Brazil and the increase in the number of children referred with complaints of learning disorders and medicated. This is a field research that has as reference the Historical-Cultural Psychology. Data collection was performed by census using a questionnaire. Data obtained in eight municipalities indicate that the most common diagnosis was ADHD and psychostimulant is the most prescribed drug. The highest number of medicated children are in the second and third grades of elementary school, a period in which public policies expect them to be fully literate.
