Vivências de leitura literária: as fábulas e a formação de leitores no ensino fundamental II

Abstract

Literary texts are one of the resources that can stimulate the development of reading skills in students who are still in the process of internalizing reading. In this process, the teacher plays a fundamental role, acting as a motivator in the reader's encounter with literature. Among literary genres, fables stand out as an attractive option: they are short texts with interesting themes, providing a pleasurable contact with reading and significant results, as long as the proposed activities are planned with the objective of expanding reading skills, forming proficient readers. In this context, this study aims to develop students' critical and interpretative reading skills through the literary analysis of fables, using playful and interactive activities that stimulate the understanding of narrative, symbolic and moral elements, in addition to promoting the pleasure of reading and reflection on universal themes and ethical values present in this genre. The methodological path adopted was an exploratory research, with a qualitative approach. Data were collected in contact with the pedagogical team and teachers of E.E.E.F.M. Antenor Navarro – Guarabira, PB, during the Supervised Internship. The results indicated that the short and moralistic narratives of fables are effective in attracting students' attention, as they constitute a literary genre that is easy to read and understand, in addition to addressing emotional issues, creating an environment conducive to the development of empathy and mutual respect. It was concluded that fables serve as a bridge to bring students closer to the world of literature, allowing them to reflect on their own actions and experiences. It is essential to continually create strategies that connect the knowledge acquired in life and at school with creativity and fantasy, through the magic of reading fables, promoting the development of students' critical thinking.
