Mediação de leitura: uma biblioteca escolar na formação de leitores

Abstract

This work aims at analyzing the school library in the formation of the reader, using children's literature, in a mediated way, as an indispensable issue in this process. It shows the importance of reading for the development of teaching and learning, also observing the contribution of literary reading to the construction of scientific knowledge and the experiences represented by empirical knowledge. The motivation to read is carried out through the school library, in the literacy process, in the initial years of elementary school, specifically, from the 1st to the 5th grade. It is analyzed how, with planned actions, the school library looks for ways that can be considered pleasant to encourage the habit of reading in the students of the school to which it offers its services. Based on projects and reports from the Maurício de Sousa Children's Library of Motiva Ambiental School in João Pessoa, Brazil, the paper presents children's literature in the school dimension, identifying the school as an instigating for the growth of its readership. In this school library there is an area for reading mediation, with developing pedagogical projects that will make the difference as to the quality of teaching and the possibilities to improve student‟s performance. Theoretical proposals such as those of Soares, Bamberger, Cosson, Colomer, Martins, and others, are crucial to the analysis of data presented and discussed in this paper.
