Reading promotion through children’s literature applications in Portuguese: some proposals
Abstract
As a result of the proliferation of new technologies and the impact they have on new generations, this paper suggests how to make the best use of them. Accordingly, we explain the reasons why they should be used in the classroom, focusing on their advantages and disadvantages. Likewise, we also discuss the role of teachers, schools and libraries. Secondly, we define the latest reading genres that have recently emerged in children’s literature in order to provide a list of the applications available in Portuguese for reading literacy purposes as well as for reading literary works aimed at children. In this way we classify the applications by genre, content, user age, reading level, etc. In all cases, we set out the quality criteria to be taken into account when selecting the different applications. Finally, we suggest different ways to promote the use of these new tools in the school.
