Abstract:The article presents the results of a research about the stimulation of children's literature use in classrooms, from the perspective of education journalism. Nova Escola magazine was the corpus, from which twelve months of publication were analyzed. The subject was chosen because the improvement of reading competence meets simultaneously education purposes and social journalism purposes. Reading dense texts, such as the literary ones, is an effective way to gain this competence. Results showed that the vast majority of the articles studied did not contribute to teacher's comprehension about the causes, consequences and policies involved in the development of such competence.
