Resumen

Se exponen las ventajas de la literatura para que los niños inmigrantes elaboren su proceso de tránsito, conjuguen sus identidades y establezcan puentes entre sus capacidades lectoras y comunicativas y las exigencias escolares. Se ofrecen criterios sobre los libros adecuados para que sean compartidos con sus compañeros de aula, les incorporen al trabajo escolar y propicien una educación intercultural común. Se indican actividades que resultan especialmente indicadas en las aulas, como las basadas en la oralidad y la interpretación de narraciones con fuerte componente visual. Se destaca la guía del docente en las discusiones en grupo como un andamiaje lingüístico e interpretativo muy conveniente, tanto para los recién llegados, como para la educación lectora y literaria de todos los alumnos.

Palabras clave

Literatura infantil y juvenil, la alfabetización, la inmigración
