Entre livros e telas: considerações sobre os desafios e possiblidades para a formação de leitores no 1º ano do fundamental

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of technology on the development of readers in the first grade of elementary school, taking into account the obstacles posed by excessive screen time. The goal is to understand how technology influences children's interest in reading and what strategies can be implemented to encourage this habit in a balanced way. The research adopted a qualitative approach, based on classroom observations, interviews with the teacher, and a questionnaire sent to parents. The results indicate that technology has the potential to either facilitate or complicate the reading process, depending on how it is used. Furthermore, the research highlights the importance of family involvement in fostering reading practices. It is concluded that the adoption of interactive and accessible strategies, combined with family engagement and conscious use of technology, is essential for sparking children's interest in reading and minimizing the negative impacts of excessive screen time.
