A contação de histórias e o desenvolvimento da leitura e da oralidade da criança

Abstract

The present work has as general objective to describe the pedagogical actions carried out with children during the pandemic period, from the use of Children's Literature and storytelling that enabled the development of playful activities during the mediations of literary reading. In addition to the general objective, five specific objectives were established, which are: to understand the importance of children's literature for the child's development; identify stories and games preferred by children; recognize the importance of Children's Literature for working with children; reflect on children's literature, storytelling and the development of orality and imagination of young children. When presenting a proposal for storytelling based on Children's Literature, for children who attend Kindergarten, the pedagogical intention that moved us was the necessary redefinition of the idea of playfulness, especially those provided by the narratives of stories and games, in a way to favor the cognitive development of children. This work was possible thanks to the project made available by CRAS called “Criança Feliz”, carried out in the municipality of Lagoa de Dentro/PB. Due to the pandemic and the social distancing required at that time, mediations could not be carried out in the classroom and, therefore, it was necessary to carry out home visits in the homes of the assisted families. To understand the actions taken and their articulation with the development of children, theoretical discussions were held on the themes involved, I relied on the following authors Kramer(1999, 2000), Soares(2004), Mendonça(2007), Ariès(1975), Almeida( 1995), Zilbeman(1985), Cardemotore (1994), Cantarelle(2006), Piagt (1992), Vygotsky (1984), Dallabana, mendes(2004). The research methodology consisted of a qualitative approach in a descriptive perspective. The type of research was based on an action research as the researcher was involved with the group of participating families and children. The results achieved were the interaction of everyone, teamwork and cognitive and motor development of each. The presence of children's literature is very important in education, so that children can better develop their learning, according to the quality of their thoughts.
