Literatura na educação infanto juvenil: uma análise bibliográfica sobre a importância da formação de futuros leitores

Abstract

This research aims to carry out a bibliographical analysis on the importance of children's literature in the development and formation of future readers, within the Brazilian educational system’s expectations aimed at 9th grade students, the last grade of Elementary School II. In view of the constant changes in the target audience, on technologies, and on social dynamics in which children's literature goes through, this research finds a spot among the recent debate that associates literary education with stimulating the practice of reading as well as with the consequences of reading along with the literary literacy process. From a perspective that privileges these dimensions, we bring these reflections closer to what is expected of the education of those students based on what the Base Nacional Comum Curricular outlines, and we notice a low incidence of children's literature throughout the educational guide. This leads us to conclude that there are still many challenges and essential revisions for the reader's education to become truly critical and transformative. As theoretical reference, Lajolo (1988), Zilberman (1985), Colomer (2003) e Cosson (2009) guided the main presented reflexions.
