To this end, we anchored these articles in the following objectives: general objective: to investigate whether children’s and young adult literature and storytelling are crucial points in the development of fluent readers. The specific objectives were thus guided: to identify the methodologies that theorists present for working with children’s and young adult literature stories; to reflect on the training and skills of readers in Elementary School. The relevance of this research is attributed to the crucial role that literary stories play for children and adolescents in developing their reading skills. There are still several problems to be solved in relation to children’s and young adult stories, some of which are resistance to traditional reading, quality and accessibility of material, cultural diversity, and representativeness. Thus, the question is: why is it that this practice, in the classroom of Elementary School II, is not as strong when compared to Early Childhood Education and Elementary School I? The methodology of this research was anchored in a bibliographical research that was based on studies of some theorists, who address the theme, and on the use of paradidactic books such as: “The importance of the act of reading: articles that complement each other”, “Children's and Young Adult Literature”; “The pedagogy of affection in the classroom”; “The uncertain frontiers of young adult literature?”; “The importance of listening to fairy tales”, among others. These works served as subsidies and portray the different conceptions and meanings of the importance of the act of reading that are present in the social environment.ptContosleituraliteraturaeducação.Trabalho de Conclusão de CursoCIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO
