THE CONTRIBUTION OF LITERATURE TO THE LEARNING PROCESS IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

Abstract

The general objective of this study is to understand the role of children's literature as an agent of transformation in learning, awakening the imagination and promoting systematized knowledge. The methodology used will be a bibliographic review, which aims to analyze different aspects of children's literature, its applications in the classroom and the interaction of students with literary texts. Literary genres, the relationship between literature and learning, the role of the school and the importance of listening to stories will be addressed. The expected results include the identification of pedagogical practices that favor the use of children's literature and the improvement of students' interest in reading, promoting a more stimulating school environment rich in literary experiences. The expectation is that children's literature, when used appropriately, will contribute significantly to the cognitive and social development of children, in addition to encouraging the formation of critical and creative readers.
