A iniciação da formação do leitor através dos contos de fada

Abstract

This paper addresses children's literature, focusing solely on fairy tales as a means of teaching reading to middle school adolescents. Additionally, it highlights the role of children's texts in schools as important allies in the formation of critical citizens. The main objective was to conduct the reading of fairy tales in the 9th grade at Padre Manoel Albuquerque State School. To achieve this, we read authors such as Fanny Abramovich, Nelly Coelho, Bruno Bettelheim, and Ana Gonçalves. Children's literature plays a crucial role in reflecting the child's original perception of reality, offering opportunities to experience the imaginary and fostering an original view of reality. When children read, they gain knowledge of both the real and the unreal. For children, reading is a source of pleasure, a stimulus for creativity, an enrichment of experiences, and a motivation for learning. Children's literature can be used as a playful resource, developing pleasurable behavior in both children and adolescents. Through it, youngsters learn by playing, learn to respect rules, and have fun, whether through imitation, socialization, interaction, or overcoming challenges. The overall goal of the research is to recover the importance that popular and fairy tales have on adolescents, significantly aiding in the formation of creative and dynamic readers. The specific objectives include working on the emotions conveyed by the stories, having children identify with the values found in the characters of the stories. The methodology proposed using a fairy tale to spark students' pleasure in reading, providing attractive means to tell stories through dramatization, and encouraging a love for reading. The technical procedures used were bibliographic research.
