CHILDREN'S LITERATURE: STIMULATING THE TASTE FOR READING

Abstract

Children's literature represents a path that leads children to the universe of reading in a playful and engaging way, because, through its magical character, it captures the attention of young readers. Therefore, the present study analyzes the contributions of children's literature in Early Childhood Education classes of a public school in Parnaíba-PI. In the theoretical framework, the research was based on authors such as Abramovich (1995), Cademartori (2010), Góes (2010), Frantz (2011), among others. A qualitative approach was used, based on the studies of André and Lüdke (1986) and Bogdan and Biklen (1994). Through the data collected, the study shows that children's literature in Early Childhood Education is not only a recreational activity, but a rich pedagogical practice that plays a fundamental role in the integral development of the child. The strategies used by the teachers, combined with the valorization of children's literature, promote not only the encouragement of literacy and literacy, but also the formation of critical, creative individuals who are sensitive to social issues.
