Teacher	CANTATORE LORENZO (syllabus) The course will take place both in the first and in the second semester. The Children's Literature course is aimed at future nursery educators and childcare services to provide them with hermeneutical, didactic, historiographical, linguistic, ludic and iconographic tools useful for dealing with, with due pedagogical awareness, the reading of texts intended for children's public. The lessons in attendance will be devoted mainly to the identification of strategies and methods to educate children to read and to stimulate the necessary motivational processes in them. Reading aloud, the animated reading, the construction of the reading environment, the physical relationship with the object-book, the reading of the images, the places where to carry out reading promotion (nest, school, library, playroom, house etc.), the creative relationship between storytelling, 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 which must be tackled with care and pedagogical professionalism to counteract the serious problem the removal of young people from reading practices and the use of literary texts. Alongside these theoretical aspects the lessons of prof. Cantatore will be characterized by: 1. appropriate historical focus to identify the most important steps of 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 students are actively involved). During the course, cinematographic transpositions of literary texts for children will be projected and writers, illustrators, critics, publishers, booksellers, educators, teachers specialized in children's literature will be invited to lecture. The course also includes virtual meetings between the lecturer and the students via e-mail (exchange of educational materials, urgent notices, information on events related to children's literature in which it is possible to participate as exhibitions, shows, exhibitions, etc. .). It is therefore essential that all students register for the Roma Tre formonline platform.
