This article presents strategies for reading and appreciating poetry in schools, particularly in the early elementary grades. Poetry is conceived as a type of text where the high concentration of symbolism and the semantic multi-valence, expanded by the plural signification of the conjugation of the elements of content with those of expression, allow the reader to have emotional contact with the state of things from the empiric and historic-factual world, suggesting plural hermeneutic paths to their access, knowledge and reflection. The paper understands that the fruition of the poetic text is important in the creation of readers’ habits, an essential factor for the formation of readers who are capable of reading voluntarily in quantity and quality.

Keywords : Children’s Literature; Reading; Didactics.
