Hora do conto na Biblioteca Municipal Ivone de Menezes Vieira : uma análise das práticas de leitura para o público infantil

Abstract

This research addresses the importance of reading promotion activities in public libraries and how these reading practices contribute to children's development. The study highlights the storytelling activity called "Story Time" (Hora do Conto), carried out at the Ivone de Menezes Vieira Library. To conduct the research, interviews were carried out with the 4th-grade teacher and the librarian responsible for the activity, aiming to understand the contributions of Story Time to students' development and reader formation. The study discusses the role of the library as a space for reading promotion, emphasizing its contribution to bringing children closer to books and the world of reading. It also presents reflections on reading mediation carried out by teachers and librarians, highlighting the relevance of storytelling in fostering interest in reading and promoting the development of imagination, creativity, interpretation, and critical thinking among students. Furthermore, the research demonstrates how the collaborative work between teacher and librarian contributes to supporting children both in the classroom and in the library, strengthening the reader formation process. Thus, the study presents an analysis of the development of 4th-grade students who participated in the Story Time activity, highlighting the progress observed by the teacher and the librarian in reading skills, interest in books, story comprehension, classroom participation, and engagement in reading activities promoted by the library.
