Contação de história para bebês e crianças bem pequenas: um relato de experiência na educação infantil. 2024. 35 f. Trabalho de conclusão de curso (Graduação em Pedagogia) - Centro de Educação, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2024.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/59736This work is a report of experience, focusing on the activities experienced during the mandatory Early Childhood Education internship, conducted in the second semester of 2022 at a municipal public school located in Natal/RN. This internship was carried out in a Nursery II class, consisting of very young children. The main objective of this study is to present and analyze the experiences gained, especially regarding the practice of storytelling, which was incorporated as a permanent activity in the children's routine by the lead teacher. This report aims to reflect on the importance of storytelling in child development, aligning with official documents guiding Early Childhood Education, such as the National Common Curricular Base (2017), the National Curricular Guidelines for Early Childhood Education (2009), and the Curriculum Reference for Early Childhood Education (1998), as well as theories presented by authors Sonia Kramer (2011, 2007, 2005, 1994) and Fanny Abramovich (2009). These authors emphasize the relevance of reading and storytelling from the earliest years of life, highlighting how such practices significantly contribute to children's cognitive and social development. As discussed, storytelling not only promotes language and communication development but also stimulates critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. The experience report seeks to highlight how storytelling, when consistently integrated into the children's routine, reinforces the importance of this pedagogical resource for their holistic development. The results obtained demonstrate that the continuous practice of storytelling enriches the learning environment and supports the emotional and intellectual growth of the children, fostering a more comprehensive and effective educational approach.Attribution 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/br/Educação InfantilCrianças bem pequenasContação de HistóriasbachelorThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS
