O uso das tecnologias da informação e comunicação como instrumentos de incentivo ao hábito da leitura

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the main Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) resources currently used to encourage students’ reading habit from the Initial Years of the Elementary Education. The study starts from the historical evolution of reading and writing, identifying the contributions that digital technologies can bring to the development of the reading habit, since these are already part of students' daily lives. For the purposes of this study, the theoretical contributions of authors such as Paulo Freire (2011), Vilson Leffa (1996), Michéle Petit (2008), José Armando Valente (1999) and Pierre Lévy (1993) are considered, as well as the official documents such as the National Common Curricular Base (NCCB) from 2017, the National Curricular Parameters (NCP) of Portuguese Language from 1997, the Curricular Proposal of Santa Catarina from 2014 and the Directives and Bases of National Education Law (LDB) from 1996. About the methodological aspects, it is a bibliographic and explanatory research. This work shows that ICTs are a reality of the hypermedia society and need to be presented and inserted in pedagogical practices, serving as important tools to encourage students' reading habits in a meaningful, interactive and collaborative way.
