Abstract

The present research aims to analyse and comprehend the Children’s Literature contributions to the learning and development of children in the initial years of basic education. It is a result of a qualitative research, a case study, conducted in a public school of Santa Luzia municipality, in the state of Maranhão. Initially, this research consists of the theoretical frame ofreference about Children’s Literature, its beginning, characteristics and relevance; followed by the concept of Children’s Literature as a pedagogical tool, identifying in the BNCC the grounding of said tool in the school environment. Thus, with the input of the theoretical basis of this research, a field research was conducted with teachers of Children’s Education. The result shows that teachers struggle with the use of literary text and that the school in which the research was made has little investment towards the development of Children’s Literature, therefore, knowing that this is an indispensable tool to acquire knowledge, the study and understanding of Children’s Literature in the initial years of basic education are essential.
