La importancia de la lectura en los primeros años

Abstract The great challenge for pedagogy today is to awaken in children a taste for reading, to make it a habit in their lives. Especially in the initial years of their school life. This paper aims to report the importance of encouraging reading in the early years of an individual’s school life, as well as to emphasize the role of the family and the teacher in this process. The methodology was developed through bibliographic research, where initially a search was made for previously published works of great relevance to the field, the visions of each researched author were analyzed, and then the researcher’s versions were presented, following her own points of view. The conclusion was that reading is significantly important for the construction of the individual and that it is essential to insert the practice of reading into the students’ early years, in order to strengthen their knowledge base for the development of learning.
