Cargados de fantasía: la literatura infantil como experiencia sensible para el fortalecimiento de la escritura creativa inicial en las niñas y los niños de grado primero

Abstract

This research aimed to understand how children's literature, as a sensory experience, strengthens early creative writing skills in first-grade students at the Santa Librada IED School. To this end, a pedagogical proposal was developed within the framework of the educational practice component of the Language, Creation, and Communication track of the Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education at the Francisco José de Caldas District University. The exploration of children's literature through sensory experiences fostered meaningful learning processes related to writing competence. The research demonstrated how children's literature, linked to sensory experiences, redefines children's experience with books, becoming an encounter with imagination and creativity. This, in turn, allows children to communicate their experiences, emotions, and ideas, positioning them as valuable and relevant in the learning process. The study concludes with the importance of recognizing sensitivity, creativity, and emotions within pedagogical practices.
