Flying with Peter Pan and falling into the hole with Alice: the classics of infant-juvenile literature as possibilities for reading, writing and imagining

Journal Title: Práxis Educativa - Year 2019, Vol 14, Issue 2

Abstract

We discuss, in this paper, the classics of literature as a possibility in working with language – oral and written - and the construction of imaginative processes. We bring a participant research cutoff of the intervention type, carried out with students of the 5th grade of Elementary School of a public school in the hinterland of São Paulo, Brazil, in 2017. Based on Vygotsky’s studies, we aimed to highlight the role of children’s stories in the process of development of higher psychological functions, more specifically oral language, writing and imagination. The results indicated that through literature students increased their participation in the proposed activities, as well as their involvement with reading and text production. The experiences derived from the narratives, Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland, promoted the enrichment of the plots of the texts written by the students.
