Abstract

The present work deals with "the imperiousness of children's literature as a resource for teaching and learning to read", which is a subject that has been widely discussed in the world. The study's general objective is to know the importance of children's literature as a resource for teaching and learning to read in 3rd grade students of Primary School N.º 74, in the municipality of Malanje. The research carried out had 4 participants, of which 3 from the teaching class and 1 from the administrative class, students from the 3rd class also participated who were targets of observation. The research had as methodology used the qualitative-descript¬ive approach, in terms of nature, in the present study, the basic strategic research model prevails, whose focus is to produce useful knowledge with value in practical studies, in the specific case of children's literature. The instrument used for data collection is the observation script for the students, the structured interview guide applied to the teaching and administrative staff. As support for the present investigation, it appropriated Vygotsky's cultural-historical theory, also known as interactionist theory, which values the subject from his culture to the social encounter with other members outside his culture. Through the research carried out, it was noticed that children's literature is really imperative for the teaching-learning of reading, but it has been little applied in the school complex n.° 74 because, according to the research instrument used, it was verified that there is a high number of students who do not have much contact with children's literature at school and therefore this has triggered immense difficulties both in teaching and learning to read. Thus, it is understood that there is a need to create a library, as well as moments that provide reading for the proper monitoring of children/¬students concerning children's literature in that institution.
