The Importance of Story Time for Brazilian Preservice Teachers
Peres, Eliane
Reading Teacher, v73 n1 p95-98 Jul-Aug 2019
The author teaches a literacy course for preservice teachers, which they take during the first year of their four-year course of study. One of the most important activities in the course is Story Time, which consists of the author reading a children's book to preservice teachers during every class, followed by a discussion of the story. After the read-aloud, they write a reflection emphasizing their feelings and thoughts. The author's primary goal is to invite these future teachers to experience the literature, not just discuss it. The result is a lived experience, not only a theoretical discussion. As future teachers encounter Story Time, the author hopes they begin to realize how reading literature with students is an aesthetic experience that plays an important role in the development of their subjectivity and opens their minds to new sociability.
