Mediated Reading of Children’s Literature as Paradigmatic Scenario to Develop Emotional Competence
Keywords:
Children's literature, Mediated reading, Emotional competence, Paradigmatic scenariosAbstract
In the reading, we explore specifi c scenarios that set the context for the emotional experience, named paradigmatic scenarios. In this essay, the authors highlight the contributions of children’s literature reading in their social and emotional development through a process called mediated reading. In this process, the adult reader operates as a mediator of emotional experience of “fi ctional” characters in the narrative, the story and those real processes that characterize children’s context and life experience. This theoretical study ends by discussing the scope of children’s literature reading process mediation as a tool that contributes school inclusion, and allows interaction between cognitive and aff ective aspects in formal education.
