teacher profile teaching materials
The Children's Literature course is aimed at future nursery and children's services educators in order to provide them with hermeneutical, didactic, historiographic, linguistic, playful and iconographic tools useful to face, with due pedagogical awareness, the reading of texts intended for children.
The lessons will be mainly dedicated to the identification of strategies and methods to educate children in reading and to stimulate in them the necessary motivational processes. Reading aloud, animated reading, the construction of the reading environment, the physical relationship with the object-book, the reading of images, the places to promote reading (nursery, school, library, playroom, home, etc.), the creative relationship between narration, reading and writing: these are just some of the great themes that go through and determine the complex relationship of the child with the literary and iconic text and that need to be tackled with care and pedagogical professionalism in order to counter the serious problem of young people moving away from reading practices and the use of literary texts.
Alongside these theoretical aspects, the lessons of Prof. Cantatore will be characterised by:
1. appropriate historical focus to identify the most important steps in the progressive formation of a literary tradition specifically dedicated to early childhood;
2. practical demonstrations of how to read a book to/with children (in this case the active participation of the students is foreseen).
During the course, cinematic transpositions of literary texts for children will be shown and writers, illustrators, critics, publishers, booksellers, educators and teachers specialised in children's literature will be invited to give lessons.
The course will also include virtual meetings between the teacher and the students by telematic means (exchange of teaching materials, urgent notices, information on events related to children's literature in which it is possible to participate such as exhibitions, shows, exhibitions, fairs, etc.). It is therefore essential that all students subscribe to the Roma Tre formonline platform.

Le lezioni saranno dedicate prevalentemente all’individuazione delle strategie e dei metodi per educare i più piccoli alla lettura e per stimolare in loro i necessari processi motivazionali. La lettura ad alta voce, la lettura animata, la costruzione dell’ambiente di lettura, il rapporto fisico con l’oggetto-libro, la lettura delle immagini, i luoghi dove svolgere promozione della lettura (nido, scuola, biblioteca, ludoteca, casa ecc.), il rapporto creativo fra narrazione, lettura e scrittura: sono questi solo alcuni dei grandi temi che attraversano e determinano il complesso rapporto del bambino con il testo letterario e iconico e che occorre affrontare con cura e professionalità pedagogica per contrastare il grave problema dell’allontanamento dei giovani dalle pratiche di lettura e dalla fruizione dei testi letterari.
Accanto a questi aspetti teorici le lezioni saranno caratterizzate da:
1. opportuni focus storici per individuare i passaggi più importanti del progressivo formarsi di una tradizione letteraria specificamente dedicata alla prima infanzia;
2. dimostrazioni pratiche di come si può leggere un libro ai/con i bambini (in questo caso è prevista l’attiva partecipazione degli studenti).
