Abstract

The following proposal, explores the relationships between text and image as reciprocal complements to the literacy interpretation of the message in the illustrated book album. Although the reader model of the books album are small children, it’s proposed  its usefulness for interdisciplinary work between literature and visual arts in the secondary classroom, visualizing in Anthony Browne’s book, «Voices in the Park» a possible transgenerational reading, in other words, given the complexity  of the hidden codes after intertextual references it’s possible it’s didactic application for the development of the visual and literacy competence through the understanding and the fictional creative work with the youth. This link is planned according to criteria to justify the expansion of the teaching of literature toward the interdisciplinary work: students as producers of visual culture and narrative stories for the construction of a fifth voice in the mentioned work.
