Contação de histórias nos anos iniciais: reflexões sobre as contribuições para alfabetização e letramento na perspectiva de professoras alagoanas

Abstract

Storytelling is a pedagogical strategy that can contribute to the literacy and literacy process, enabling listening and imagination to help children become young readers, as the world of make-believe allows them to gain knowledge of knowledge and values through through the stories told. Thus, the present study's general objective is to understand the contributions of storytelling to the literacy process of children in the early years of Elementary School, from the perspective of teachers from Alagoas. To this end, this qualitative research, of an exploratory nature, was developed based on interviews carried out with six teachers, in two school institutions in Alagoas, one private and the other public. The teachers work in the early years of Elementary School and the interviews covered the use of storytelling in their classes. The results point to the existence of some obstacles, such as the demand of the classes, the lack of resources to work on storytelling, the search for attention from students, among other issues highlighted in this course completion work (TCC) of Pedagogy at the Federal University of Alagoas. Despite these challenges, teachers frequently use and consider storytelling an important strategy to promote the development of speaking and learning, highlighting its relevance for reading and writing.
