CONTRIBUIÇÃO DA LEITURA PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO COGNITIVO DA CRIANÇA

Abstract

The present work aims to present how the practice of reading contributes to child development. Reading is present in different spaces and cultures in the formation of the individual and society. With technological evolution, it is clear that there have been major changes in reading practice in the country, especially among children and young people. The example in the family makes all the difference, as children learn by imitation, assimilating what they see and hear. Reading as a teaching object within schools also has its challenges, teachers as mediators in the process of reading practice also have difficulties in encouraging and stimulating children. Reading provides different knowledge and new learning, strengthens social integration, empowers and broadens horizons. And the most important thing of all is what reading can provide in the formation of an individual in society. Encouraging reading in childhood provides incredible results in adult life.
