A importância da literatura na educação infantil na escola Gentil Alves da Silva

Abstract

Much has been said about the problems involving literary reading in the Brazilian context, even though no solution has yet been found for the problem that is seen and experienced every day, whether inside or outside the classroom. The following research, entitled: “The importance of literature in early childhood education”, arose from this question and sought to emphasize some points considered essential to the teaching of literature in early childhood education inside or outside of school. To this end, we sought to address them concisely and in the exact order in which they should occur. Starting with studies that deal with issues related to the formation of readers, they point to the need for students to experience contact with literature during the literacy process. This study was conducted through bibliographical research based on theorists such as Cosson (2019), Jauss (1979), LOIS (2010), among others who discuss the importance of literary reading as a social practice for the formation of readers. The results achieved with the research in question indicate that reading, when encouraged in the classroom, performs functions and objectives that provide the conditions, which are indispensable for any student, regardless of their level of education, but, mainly, in the initial grades and beyond. can acquire the habit of reading, so that they can effectively and critically conduct their learning process and become a critical and/or proficient reader.
