O Ato de ler e contar histórias para crianças: o professor trabalhando na formação do leitor na escola

Abstract

This paper aims to reflect on the act of reading and storytelling for children, analyzing the teacher's role in shaping the reader at school. The article was written from the completion of a study made from bibliographic and field research. The field research consists of a questionnaire applied to a storyteller, who works at an University in Dourados, and to two teachers of Portuguese Language of a Estadual school from Fatima do Sul; this questionnaire was complemented with an interview with one of the teachers. In developing the paper we show the readings taken and the experiences of the teachers and the storyteller. In Final Considerations we show that the teacher can participate in the shaping of the reader in school by being a reader and a storyteller for children, using an enchantment made possible by the stories found in books, in popular tales and even in people's lives.
