Abstract: The project presents new ludic techniques of storytelling, expanding the collection of resources for reading practice. This merger, specifically in a school library, encourages the main target — the reader — valuing reading and imagination. Stories are wonderful sources of experiences. They are a means of expanding the horizon of the child and increasing his knowledge of the world around him. Through them, the child incorporates values and emotional balance, which have always governed human life. The main focus is play, artistic and literary activities as privileged pedagogical resources for the overall development of children. It is believed that the practice of storytelling is the first step towards the formation of the reader, and then it is to take the magic of Children’s Literature to guide the paths of reading from an early age. Thus, in the essence of the wisdom of stories, the accountants of this and future generations, with words, can make a better world.
Key words: storytelling, mediation and reading appreciation, ludic, emotional education, children’s literature
