摘要：Access to Literature becomes a good way to get knowledge, history, and to shape people’s thoughts. Because of this, to develop linguistic and communicative skills, we can’t forget the kind of Literature which brings people a good knowledge of these skills. Children’s Literature allows us to acquire communicative competence, to study all the areas of the curriculum and to understand many aspects of life. We can define it as a group of productions which have artistic qualities and share aspects with other literary texts. Children access these productions during the early years of their Education. The aim of Education using Children’s Literature is related to creativity, play and to the development of literary language (May, 1995). How do we access this kind of language? We can find three main genres: Poetry, Narrative, and Theatre. Of course, we have to explain this, because we have to talk about Children’s poetry for and by children. In narrative, we will refer to stories and in Theatre, to drama.
