La importancia de la lectura del libro El Quijote de la Mancha en los niños

Abstract

Abstract: Exposure to reading provides incalculable benefits for life, so it is important to instill it as a habit in children and young people, but for this, it is necessary to offer age-appropriate works, in such a way that they can appreciate and understand them. To achieve this purpose, it is convenient to surround them with captivating books that attract their attention and make them want to read. Within this group of works, classics of universal literature, such as Don Quixote de la Mancha, must be made available to them. This fundamental book contains a special way of seeing the world. Don Quixote fights for his ideals, for love, goodness, and justice. To engage in dialogue with children, the book has many aspects of human nature, such as love, pain, humor, injustice, honor, envy, resignation, generosity, deceit, as well as optimism and pessimism. It has been demonstrated that by making adaptations of fragments of the books, children can be brought closer to them, and that is precisely the objective of making adaptations of Don Quixote for children.
