A literatura como ferramenta no processo de formação de leitores: reflexões a partir do gênero conto. 2016. 23f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Licenciatura em Pedagogia a Distância), Centro de Educação, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Marcelino Vieira, 2016.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/42111This article aims to discuss the importance of reading the process of formation of readers, by means of the importance that the literature should exercise in the children, so that they may acquire the taste for reading, perceiving that the literature is a "tool" able to allow for means of texts, the contact with knowledge, making feasible by means of the reading classes the opportunity to face a text construct meaning, to formulate, to investigate, to question, so that reading becomes an act not only delight , but also of learning. Thus, the teacher in the role of mediator must own a conception of reading that conceives the text from an interactive, dialogic look. In that sense, we will base on some theorists such as: Soares (2005), Kleiman (1993) Santos (2005), and others who contributed to the theoretical discussions about the object of study, discussing the social purpose and the appropriate front methodologies to the literary text. The methodology used in this study is the bibliographic research, from which it, we analyze the specific references on the theme.openAccessContoLeitor críticoLeituraTaleCritical readerReadingbachelorThesisEducação
