Familias mediadoras de la lectura en la primera infancia

Abstract

This master project presents the results of the research project called “reader mediation family in early childhood”, which aimed to link families in the literary education process of the public school’ kindergarten children, located in Ciudad Bolívar district, Bogotá. The project is based on the recognition that early ages contact with literature contributes to the development of communication skills and how each human being recognizes himself and others as bearers of meaning. Thus, school and family become the main responsible for bringing literature closer to the kids and generating necessary links to ensure this process, facing the increase of family distancing from children´s formation, one of the main current educational problems. Therefore, it is designed a new pedagogical intervention proposal called “Reading families”, developed by applying the action research approach and a didactic sequence process to re-establish school and family connection, recognizing literature as a cultural right and producing reading experiences where families emerge as mediators of children´s reading. Finally, the analysis of information collected during the intervention allowed to identify recurring patterns that demonstrate a family literary formation coming from their role as children´s reading mediators, their understanding of the literary object, and the possibilities of the childhood literature in early childhood education.
