Abstract: This study seeks to know the main investigations on the relationship between reading fiction texts and empathy in children and adolescents.Through an integrative review of the scientific literature from the Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), Education Resources Information Center (Eric), and PsycInfo databases between 2009 and 2020, 21 articles were analyzed in detail, showing a predominance of intervention studies, followed by case and correlational studies.The research samples are predominantly made up of students, although some also include the perception of teachers, parents, and guardians.Different aspects of the relationship between reading and empathy were identified, both studies that emphasize the contribution of reading to the development of empathy and studies that show the contribution of empathy to initial learning and the development of reading comprehension were observed.Most of the research was conducted in the North American context, pointing out a gap in the Brazilian scenario.
