Entre fraldas e livros: a presença da leitura entre os bebês

Abstract

Reading is fundamental in Early Childhood Education. It implies that the book must be inserted in the life of the children from the first years of life, where at this stage the child, through his discoveries, curiosities and observations, discovers the world around him. This work whose theme "BETWEEN BOOKS AND BOOKS: the presence of reading among babies" had as a general objective to analyze the presence of reading at work with babies in a day care center. As a result of this, the specific objectives were: to verify how babies experience these moments of reading in the routine of pedagogical practices, to investigate how the teacher develops reading work with the babies and to record how reading can influence or contribute to the development of the baby. The qualitative study was carried out in a Child Education Institution in the city of João Pessoa, with children from 6 months to 1 year of age, through observations in Nursery I. In order to support this work, readings of authors that have investigated the theme, namely: Ortiz and Carvalho (2012), Parreiras (2012), Fonseca (2012) and the National Curriculum Framework for Early Childhood Education (vol.1 and 2, 1998), among others. In the work carried out, it was noticed that the nursery teacher of the institution investigated, had experience in the care of the babies, showed dedication, knowledge and interest in producing educational activities that involved reading in a diversified, dynamic and playful way, also developing other languages such as visual, facial expressions and tactile contact. The baby, besides being careful, needs to develop fully, explore all the senses of the body, the environment, and be able to know the world through reading and its discoveries, the bond with objects and with the other, be it adult or child. However, it is fundamental that the teachers encourage reading, which is not only necessary for each one to develop, it is undoubtedly a great step in the education of each person, thus enabling new learning. It is also important that they have initial and continuous training, where they will be aware of proposals that will be of great contribution to the development of their work, providing improvements and improvement in the activities in a planned way that will be developed with the babies, favoring a quality Infant Education . In this respect, it is understood that working with this theme was of the utmost importance, since the presence of reading in the context of Early Childhood Education becomes a broad and possible subject to be addressed, which requires the teacher to be knowledgeable and available, sensitive listening to understand in the various forms of communication that babies establish through gestures, looks, movements, cries, laughter, their desires, their needs and their specificities.
