Fundamentos Pedagógicos: Leitura e Prática

Abstract

Reading is capable of transforming human beings and, consequently, the world. When reading, we develop linguistic, interpretative, reasoning, concentration, expression and creativity skills, among others. Paulo Freire goes further and says that “reading is becoming aware, it is interpreting the world” and that we all want and need to be capable of this. That is why it is so important that families and educators ensure that our students have access to this gateway to the world's infinite knowledge and can, through reading, identify and value their human power. Remembering that the practice of reading affects the cognitive, social and emotional development of the individual.
