Reading in infancy and childhood: incidence in the construction of the subject reader

Abstract

This article considers that the periods of infancy and childhood substantially influence the construction of the subject reader. This process involves various actors: children, mothers, fathers, caregivers and teachers. However, the characteristics of the act of reading must also be taken into account. In this sense, it is necessary to understand its psychological, linguistic and contextual aspects. In conclusion, promoting the formation of reading subjects from infancy and childhood implies recognizing the profound and complex characteristics of reading in order to produce better teaching practices and motivation for this activity.
