We always talk about how important it is to develop
creativity in our future students but not only through painting, drawing
or coloring we can also develop the creativity and the critical
sense with literature.
Literature is a way of communication that serves to enable
people to enjoy the beauty, have dreams, visit new pleaces, develop
imagination, meet new personalities, situations and opinions and of course
acquire knowledge.
When a child reads a books, for example, he identifies with
characters, he learns about values, ethics and standars of behaviour as love,
hard work, sincerity, honesty, courage and friendship, happiness, solidarity
and equialty. So literature is an excellent way through children can learn to
distinguish right from wrong and expands their knowledge on history, science,
politics,real situations and much more.
If as teachers we promote reading, are examples to our
children, they will learn and imitate us. They will learn not only
vocabulary or knowledge also develop imagination and creativity will
learn something new every day.
Julia Donaldson knows very well how to make good children's
literature so if you want to investigate something more about her visit these

Hello Andrea!
ResponderEliminarI agree with you!!
I think that literacy is essential in our lives, therefore, we as teachers have to develop it in our children, because we are models for them and they are going to imitate, work and do the same things which we perform.
Also I consider that literacy contributes in the adquisition of knowledge and in doing possible the communication with other people. but to get it, the creation and imagination are totally necessary, because the literacy not only are poems or books.
Good job!
See you, bye!
