Leitura e contação de histórias na educação infantil: o encontro entre as crianças e os livros

Abstract

This text reports a process developed with 180 children from 1st and 2nd period of Early Child hood Education (between four to six years old), from a municipal school in Manaus in the year 2017. The reported experience results from a set of activities carried out whose objective was to promote a closer relationship between the childrenand the universe of children’s literature through reading and story telling. Considering the developed activity, we consider as results the motivation of the children for being closer to the books and the increase of their interest in participating in the moments of reading and story telling. Such attitudes are the result of the children’s response to the need for reading that was created in them.
