“…In this sense, the New Literacy Studies arise as a need to frame literacy as a social and educational practice (Lankshear & Knobel, 2011), beyond the psycholinguistic or structuralist analysis that has predominated in the study of linguistic and literary competence so far. The results of this research show that the shared cultural reference, the affective bond with the narrator (Quintanal, 1999), the use of artistic languages (visual, sonorous, kinesthetic) through the picture book and the manipulation of it as a "discursive strategy" (Tabernero-Sala, 2018, 75) can help pre-reader subjects to take centre stage in this literacy exercise, as further research on literacy in the field of inclusion underlined (Bolos, Fuentes-Peláez & Pastor, 2017;Haquin, Cornejo & Arancibia, 2016;Acosta, Moreno & Axpe, 2011;Aram, Most & Mayafit, 2006). Therefore, this study highlights the convenience and the need to explore the relationship between Silent Books and initial literacy, with a methodology based on dialogical readings and infant self-managed narration, in order to begin to provide students from early childhood with powerful tools to coexist in the society of the twenty-first century.…”
