Biblioteca infantil: espaço de ação, atuação e mediação da leitura para crianças

Abstract

This work considers the children’s library as a space for promoting relations and mediation between the beginning reader and the book, understanding children’s literature as a way that provides the development of the child’s imagination, which requires the educator specific knowledge to identify and offer stimuli by the reader action. to the habit of reading. One form of stimulus that can be highlighted is the activity of literary reading and storytelling in libraries aimed at children, considering that early contact with the book brings and encourages the desire for reading. From this perspective, we aim to present a study on the library Del Outro Side Del Arbol, located in the city of La Plata, Argentina, which takes as its centrality the act of encouraging reading for children from 0 to 5 years. This work was developed during the first half of 2017, funded by Banco Santander through the Ibero-American Program. For this, we performed a field research, based on observations with field diary records and image collections, assuming as a descriptive analysis procedure of the collected material, focusing on a qualitative research. For the theoretical reflection of the analysis, we supported the conception of literary reading of Cosson (2012), in the discussion about literary reading for children of Reyes (2010; 2012) and Colomer (2007), understanding the children’s literature as a language form and a motivating and challenging instrument for imaginary creation.
