Acolhimento e respeito às individualidades: estratégias e livros de literatura infantil

Abstract

This final paper in Pedagogy is presented as a suggestion of literary materials that address inclusion, diversity, and differences. It aims to contribute to these processes within the school environment, offering resources to support dialogue with both parents and teachers, in favor of a social inclusion that embraces all ways of being, existing, and experiencing the world. The school experience shapes not only knowledge but also the way we see ourselves and feel welcomed in the world. This work emerges from my personal journey as a student, marked by learning difficulties that were only later understood as signs that each individual learns in a unique and singular way. For years, I faced challenges in a traditional school that failed to meet my needs—especially in mathematics—which led me, as a child, to feel incapable. This personal trajectory awakened in me the desire to study welcoming and respect for individual differences a fundamental pillars of truly inclusive education. Through a literature review and the study of the main laws that support inclusion in Brazil, this work seeks to understand how differentiated pedagogical practices and a welcoming environment can transform the educational experience of so many students who, like me, simply needed a more sensitive gaze. This TCC is not just an academic production; it is a manifesto for educational equity, for the appreciation of diversity, and for the urgent need for schools and families to work together in building a fairer and more inclusive environment for all.
