Understanding the entry of babies and small children into Primary Education as a contemporary challenge, this work aims at bringing together education, literature and childhood in order to discuss the experience of reading in the early stages of schooling. Children from two State Schools (RS) show through their narratives the image they have of a good student, and such narratives resemble “The Adventures of Pinocchio”, novel in which a wooden puppet turns into a boy but still thinks as a puppet. The dialogue between “Pinocchio: a parallel book”, Bachelard’s phenomenology and Gadamer’s hermeneutics sustain the idea of language as an existential experience of the world, in which a meaning emerges from the situation readers find themselves. Alterity in the ways of reading and interpreting the world make it possible to conclude that reading is more, and another thing, something different from just providing literacy instruction.

Keywords : Language and childhood; Experience of reading; Schooling.
