We discuss, in this paper, the classics of literature as a possibility in working with language – oral and written - and the construction of imaginative processes. We bring a participant research cutoff of the intervention type, carried out with students of the 5th grade of Elementary School of a public school in the hinterland of São Paulo, Brazil, in 2017. Based on Vygotsky’s studies, we aimed to highlight the role of children’s stories in the process of development of higher psychological functions, more specifically oral language, writing and imagination. The results indicated that through literature students increased their participation in the proposed activities, as well as their involvement with reading and text production. The experiences derived from the narratives, Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland, promoted the enrichment of the plots of the texts written by the students.
Keywords: Infant-juvenile literature. Oral and written language. Imagination. Literacy.
