Calidad y diversidad funcional en la educación literaria infantil

Abstract

This article focuses on one of the main materials used in literary education from 0- to 6-year-old students: picturebooks. This genre is approached as part of children’s and young adult literature, considering functional diversity in education, its inclusion in picturebooks, and the role of all this in the promotion of reading. The objective is to know the studies that have been published on the literary and illustrative quality of picture books, focusing on the representation of functional diversity. Among other conclusions, the article shows that there has been a change in the improvement of the quality of picturebooks and the way of representing functional diversity in children’s and youth literature. However, the research concludes that the representation of this diversity is scarce, as well as the research that simultaneously address the quality criteria of the illustrated book and care about the representation of functional diversity in them.
