Summary/Abstract: The general objectives of the children’s literature didactics for the elementary school were conceptually and methodologically delineated with the intention of outlining the frame concepts underlying coherent didactic pathways, on the one hand, and of offering different operational strategies, oriented towards building communication and cultural competence, in accordance with the frame objectives specific to the curriculum for the „Language and communication” discipline at the level of elementary school, on the other hand. The objectives are, thus, complementary to all the areas of the native language didactics at elementary school level, in accordance with a series of unitary principles regarding the grounding of the problematics of children’s literature in the nowadays readers’ horizon of expectation and the building of diversified and significant learning contexts: interlinguistic opportunities in the domain of language and communication and interdisciplinary perspectives inside the curricular areas; children’s literature found between the literary and the non-literary; trans-curricular perspectives; elements of intercultural and inter-linguistic didactics; children’s literature and other arts; proposals of didactic scenarios; cultural and intercultural values and attitudes developed through children’s literature; proposals of didactic scenarios. While discussing the subthemes mentioned above, students can put into practice the investigation of some didactic guidance points in the form of methodological alternatives by (re)considering the didactics of children’s literature from the point of view of special didactics. Some of these proposed subthemes can be approached by choosing some strategies that aim to establish correlations between literature and other arts, between the Romanian and non-mother-tongue or other modern languages known to the children of early school age, namely the achievement of perspectives through linking Romanian literature to the respective non-mother-tongue literatures. The purpose of this approach is to emphasize the constants and the differences specific to the children’s literature. Besides the inter- and intra-cultural correlations that have been created, the stake of the last tackled issue does not lie only in the proposals of various didactic approaches related to the report between literature and other arts, but also in the formation of cultural and intercultural competence, namely in the trans-disciplinary tackled perspectives. The topics tackle a modern collection of thematic-textual reference points specific to the study of children’s literature in the elementary education, with examples and a series of special requirements regarding the understanding of the narrative, lyrical and dramatic text, as well containing examples.
