By lullabies, adults talking and the stories that are told since their babyhood, it all make them experience literature. This way, the literary universe’s presence on the kid´s daily basis happens to enhance emotional, cognitive, and social development. Therefore, on the early ages of the child, the reading habit rises, as well, it contributes to achieving future skills. However, on the last decades we have watched a growth in academic researches that take aim on early childhood literature. By considering the literary texts exercises on child education, as an ideal moment to introduce them the literature, it makes us wonder the fundamental place of the teacher in this action. In this direction, this current dissertation takes place, titled: Early childhood literary reading mediation: a look about the teacher’s practice on child education. An exploratory type applied research with qualitative approach, in which presents itself as a thread to look back about the means in which literary reading mediation happens on daily basis of education centers. To answer the main goal, we dictate four specific ones: i) to know, by bibliographic research, the specifics of literary reading on child education and the theoretical basis which involves mediation concepts; ii) to investigate, by observations, the methodological procedures and the resources used by teachers to mediate literary reading with children. iii) to understand the literature concepts, literary reading, mediation and reader’s development that are the north star of teacher’s habits, by using questionnaire and structured and semi-structured interview; iv) to verify the proposed goals, by teachers, for the literary reading activities applied on children, observing how the literature is inserted on the school’s daily basis. To achieve all that, we adopted as methodological path, the using of bibliographic and field research, that took place in a public institution of child education in the city of João Pessoa/PB.
