Leitura e formação de leitores na Escola Estadual Alberto Caldeira: uma proposta de renovação

Abstract

This study proposes an analysis concerning readers’ formation in the “State School Alberto Caldeira” educational context, located in the rural town of Guanhães (MG). During the research, a data collection of reading training practices usually used by teachers of the elementary school and by Portuguese language teachers of High School was done. This collection aimed to verify which methodologies have reached a positive effect and which ones have contributed to the stagnation of students. From these data, a sequence of activities was proposed and applied in order to promote an effective readers’ formation in a class of 9th grade of elementary school. The sequence was based on the book Um garoto chamado Rorbeto (A Boy named Rorbeto) by Gabriel, o pensador. Through this methodology consisting of five modules, we could motivate students who participated actively in all the work learning and accepting activities related to literary reading. The authors used as theoretical basis for the research were: Rildo Cosson, Antonio Cândido, Magda Soares, Isabel Solé, Joseane Maya, Ana Tereza Naspolini, Marisa Lajolo, among others. The result can be considered positive and we hope, therefore, that these activities can be taken as basis for creating new projects in order to aid readers’ formation.
