Abstract

The research was developed in the area of ​​Elementary Education, from 1st to 5th year, specifically in the initial grades.

The objective of the research developed with an exploratory methodology and qualitative/quantitative strategy, based on fieldwork with questionnaires, later transformed into experience reports, with four storyteller teachers, although one of them confessed to a lack of aptitude for storytelling, is to present storytelling as a teaching practice to be worked on to contribute to the development of children, expanding their skills, helping in their understanding of the world, since through this strategy they can improve their performance in society in a way more autonomous and critical. It is verified in the course of theoretical research, through the authors' speech, that storytelling is a primordial mechanism for training critical and reflective readers. Returning to enchanting children in the face of the challenge embedded in the means of communication offered, especially television, is seen as something difficult by the teachers who come there, a kind of competition, requiring greater preparation from the teacher in order to once again enchant them inside and outside the classroom. classroom. The teacher, when telling, must involve the child so that they experience a unique moment capable of awakening interest in the story. Storytelling has been and will always be an important factor in Children's Literature where children can discover a different world within the stories, providing greater possibilities for the reality in which they live.
