Language makes it possible to communicate and share interests and culture. It is effective in developing conventional reading and writing processes, in general, and bilingualism, in particular, through children's literature (stories). The results of the first phase of the research process (3 years) account for the key aspects of the pedagogical discourse and practice that fosters the acquisition of reading and writing skills in the native language (L1) during early childhood. The second phase addresses the way in which the strategies and discourses that were effective in the first phase can be transferred, with some adaptations, to the same processes in a second language (L2), producing surprising results.

Keywords : orality; narrative; bilingualism; meaning.
