Summary/Abstract: The aim of this communication is to reflect on the topic: Books, Readers and Reading Mediators, highlighting the importance of the latter, namely within the context of pre-school and primary school education. Our reflection will be theoretically grounded on researchers in contemporary children’s literature such as: Pedro Cerrillo, Santiago Yubero, Gemma Llunch.Based on experiments carried out by interns that we monitor at the School of Education of Bragança, Portugal, within various contexts of pre-school and primary school education, we will show that the mediator’s role is very important both in the promotion and in the dramatization of reading, especially when targeting children, and we will highlight their role as a bridge or link between books and pre-readers and early readers, promoting and facilitating the dialogue between them.
