Uma leitura sobre a função pedagógica das imagens nos livros de literatura infantil

Abstract

This work aims to discuss the importance of images in Children's Literature Books as a pedagogical function, based on the analysis of how these images are worked by the teachers in the classroom. For this study, in addition to conducting a bibliographical research, there was also the execution of a field research, with a qualitative approach, having as an instrument for data collection a questionnaire applied with the teachers who teach in Early Childhood Education in two municipal schools of city of Cabedelo- PB. Through the research, it can be verified that there are deficits related to the pedagogical work with the images of the Children's Literature books carried out by the teachers. However, in order to understand the images present in these books, readers must be able to read images. To achieve this, the teacher must first be formed visually and be able to understand that images are a type of language and that they maintain different types of relationships with written text. In this way children during the period of Early Childhood Education need to be visually literate in order to understand visual codes and their assignments effectively.
