A “poiesis” do processo de leitura na educação infantil

Abstract

The present article centers on the theme The “Poiesis” of the Reading Process in Early Childhood Education, which also gives the study its title. It reflects on the importance and challenges encountered in the initial stages of reading acquisition in an Infant II class at a private school. The general objective of this study is to analyze and discuss the initial reading process of children in Early Childhood Education under the framework of the concept of Poiesis. It is also essential to understand the reading process in the child’s early development, identify methods and approaches to promote reading, and document and examine the main challenges faced by the researcher-teacher in training while fostering reading among young children. Methodologically, this is a qualitative, exploratory research, based on participant observation, content analysis, and a case study. It also qualifies as action research, seeking a deeper understanding through active classroom involvement over the course of one year with an Infant II class. Various methods were used in the classroom to engage not only the children but also their families, who play a fundamental role in encouraging reading. The results revealed several challenges that required constant reflection in order to be overcome, such as the search for didactic strategies and practical interventions aimed at captivating children, always encouraging them to enter the magical world offered by texts and, consequently, by reading itself. It is important to emphasize that reading should be part of every child’s life from an early age, so that a love of books and reading becomes a routine, dynamic, playful, interactive experience — a true ―creative work.‖
