Os quadrinhos como porta de entrada para a leitura no ensino fundamental anos iniciais

Abstract

This research was conducted as a Final Course Project at the Federal University of Paraíba, in the Pedagogy Licentiate Program, with the objective of understanding the contributions of comic books to the development of reading in the early years of elementary school. It provides an overview of the emergence of comics in society, seeking to understand how the relationship between comics and education was constructed and their importance in identifying reading for elementary school students in the early years of elementary school. It also includes a study of the characteristics of comics, specifically their language, which develops the interpretation of verbal and non-verbal texts. The authors Paulo Ramos and Waldomiro Vergueiro are highlighted in the dialogue with theory, as they are prominent in understanding the appropriate use of comics in the classroom from a qualitative bibliographic research perspective. During the research, it was possible to understand that contact with comics in the classroom can develop motivation, interest, reading habits, and even critical thinking in students, and serve as a gateway to different readings if used in a meaningful and appropriate way.
