SANTANA, Fabiana Andrade de  y  BRANDAO, Ana Carolina Perrusi. How do children read picture books?. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2016, vol.41, n.1, pp.165-187. ISSN 0101-7136.  https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v40i3.28649.

The study investigated wordless picture book reading by 4- and 5-year-old children. The narratives constructed by them were videotaped and transcribed. Based on this material, categories of analysis were formulated and used to guide the discussion of the data. At age 5, children tend to produce narratives that have greater fidelity to the sequence of images and include more relevant inferences. At age 4, children's narratives are less articulated, consisting mostly of descriptions of the pictures in isolation. The study indicated, however, that children's progress towards more complex reading does not appear to occur simply as the result of age. Thus, the study points out the need to reflect on ways that teachers can mediate wordless-picture-book reading in early childhood education.
