El rincón literario como espacio para el fomento de la lectura en niños de 2 a 5 años en el Cesar, municipio de la Paz, corregimiento de San José.

Abstract

This systematization was carried out at the "Mis Amiguitos" community center, located in the village of San José de Oriente, municipality of La Paz, Cesar, in a rural context with high rates of social and economic vulnerability. A problem was identified related to the limited promotion of reading habits in children aged 2 to 5, influenced by the scarcity of literary materials, low family participation, and excessive use of mobile devices. The objective was to analyze the pedagogical experience of the reading corner as a playful strategy to encourage interest in reading in early childhood. The research adopted a qualitative approach, with a descriptive design, and employed participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and focus groups with children, families, and educators. The results show that the creation of a reading space motivated children to read, expanded their vocabulary, fostered imagination, and strengthened the emotional bonds between families and children. Likewise, an increase in parental participation in reading activities was observed, recognizing their role as mediators of learning. Experience shows that shared reading, family mediation, and reading corners are effective strategies for consolidating reading habits in early childhood, and constitute a replicable model for promoting interaction between home, community, and educational institutions.
