This workshop is aimed at boys and girls who are beginning to take an autonomous interest in reading and especially those who enjoy inventing and playing with stories.
The objective of this workshop is to introduce boys and girls from 4 to 6 years old to the world of letters, in the most appropriate way, this being through play.
We must not forget that play is much more than pleasure, it is a vital necessity, the first learning instrument that boys and girls have to know themselves and the world around them. Fröbel already said that he defines play as the main activity of the child and considers it as a way of expressing the inner world of the person that is part of the image of his entire inner life.
Sometimes the pressure of traditional school makes us fall into the dynamics of rushing, of immediate results and we rush into doing things for the sake of doing without considering that all children do not have the same needs or the same pace of work.
That is why in this workshop we will promote reading from motivation, diversity and respecting the work rhythm of the boy and girl.
Writing is not a school product but a cultural object. Their learning at school cannot be reduced to a set of perceptual-motor techniques, but must also take into account an entire cognitive process that the child previously undertakes in the attempt to understand the signs. Emilia Ferreiro, psychologist and reading-writing researcher and collaborator of Jean Piaget, says that the traditional way of considering children's writing consists of paying attention only to the figural aspects such as the quality of the line, orientation from left to right, from top to bottom, rotations, inversions, ignoring the constructive aspects that have to do with what was intended to be represented and the means used to create differentiations between the representations.
Therefore, in this workshop we will create situations so that the boy and girl feel the need to communicate and express themselves through writing, to search and ask for the information they need, trying to give the type of stimulation that is needed.
