Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the theoretical and methodological foundations of literary literacy in the classroom, with a view to proposing reading mediations through puppet theater with Maranhão legends for students in the 2nd year of elementary school. It is assumed that literary literacy is a continuous act that comprises a set of social practices that use literary writing whose objective is the autonomous formation of the reader. Therefore, it is a permanent act that does not end, making school the main means of the student's relationship with literature. It takes into account the growing production of children's and young adult literary works with Maranhão legends as their theme, however, they are rarely socialized in the school environment. It is understood that puppet theater is always well accepted by the child audience, whose playful character favors the insertion of children in literary reading practices. It is based on studies by Cosson (2021), Zilberman (2012), Colomer (2007), Palo and Oliveira (2006), Abramovick (1997), Soares (2009), Dohme (2017), Santos (2015), among others.
