The importance of fairy tale reading for the development of children’s sensitivity in the opinion of preschool teachers

Abstract

The child’s sensitivity develops perfectly through literature. It is a source of many impressions and emotions for him, as well as the basis for learning his native language. It enriches the child’s vocabulary and develops his passions and interests. This publication attempts to show the importance of teachers reading fairy tales to children in order to develop their sensitivity. The fairy-tale world is a world that is close to the child, it does not create an artificial therapeutic situation, it does not force the child to perform specific tasks, it is just a guide. Fairy tales, whether transmitted orally or in writing, are a hope for the reader and allow them to enter a better, pain-free reality. The results of my own research have shown that organizing forms of educational activity contributes to the development of sensitivity to beauty, as well as the formation of morally appropriate attitudes in pre-school children. By using fairy tales in work with children, we have the opportunity to influence not only the child’s attitude, but also his yet unformed morality or imagination.
