It explores the fascination of reading and the need to incorporate it as a daily activity, allowing students to discover a new universe, full of information, wisdom and new opportunities. This strategy empowers students to chart their own path with autonomy and confidence, supported by solid training that prepares them for a lifetime. In this context, the role of the educator in the literacy process and the importance of the habit of reading are central themes discussed in this work. The main objective is to highlight the magic and importance of reading in childhood and the discoveries it provides, also aiming to form critical and reflective students, the discussion about awakening interest in reading and the importance of the teacher and the family in this context. The work addresses the difficulties encountered in the process, especially during the pandemic period, highlighting that it is essential that students acquire the habit of reading from an early age, which opens doors to this world of knowledge and opportunities, allowing them to develop the skills needed to chart your own path and be the author of your own destiny. The methodological path occurred through qualitative research, using bibliography TRENTINI, M.; PAIM L. (1999) MARTINS, G. (2001), MARCONI, M.; LAKATOS, E. (2007), DEMO, P. (2000) that recognize the importance of theoretical references already published as a guide for other studies. To support this study, we resorted to theorists Solé (1998), who outlines different strategies for reading in the classroom, Simões (2022) shows us how the reading process occurred in the middle ages, Nunes et. al., (2012), Roque and Canedo (2021) who emphasize the importance of encouraging reading, Lajolo (1996 and 2004) who deals with training the reader to read the world, Coelho (2015) and Cassiano (2009) also contribute with the discussion of this study. The study demonstrated that the ability to think independently and innovatively is essential for the formation of citizens capable of questioning the world around them, through reading. Furthermore, the search for books and the pleasure found in reading are, perhaps, the most rewarding results of this research. Finally, the positive results observed from the beginning to the end of the research reinforce the need for programs that promote reading among all ages, especially from early childhood.ptLetras - PortuguêsLeitura – InfânciaFormação do leitorLeitura – Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC)Reading - childhoodReader formationTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoLINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::LETRAS
