A LITERATURA COMO BRINQUEDO E A FORMAÇÃO DA CRIANÇA-LEITORA

In this essay we discuss the importance of the child reader nowadays. Although the importance of the act of reading in the lives of human beings has already been largely discussed, we believe that research related to the thematic reading in childhood is still necessary, for we live in a society that is more and more demanding when the performance of the reader is concerned. In everyday life, as a result of the current technological advancements, children live with different images that circulate within society, as it is through the language that the man recognizes himself as human being, hence the importance of literary reading in kindergarten and in the early years of elementary school.
