From the point of view of the approach, the research was qualitative, classified as exploratory, once the subject still requires more research, from a field study, because only a visit and application of questionnaire was executed at a school in the Municipality of São Bento-PB. The agents of the research were teachers of the 3rd, 4th and 5th year of elementary school. The instruments used for data collection were the questionnaires. We verified that all the participants of the research showed to be favorable to the introduction of the cordel in the classroom, although a very small percentage who said never to have worked with the theme in the classroom. All the teachers shared the same idea that cordel literature opens a wide range of possibilities through the characteristics that are peculiar to them, such as the pictures, verses, rhymes and simple contents that awaken the children's interest, all of which contributes to the acquisition of reading, writing, spoken language. It is also a great opportunity for the student to know the origins and cultural environment of his context.
