Abstract

Offering a teaching that provides to the students the reconnaissance, reading, comprehension and writing of texts belonging to the different genres is the function of the school. From that point of view, the development of reading competence, the focus of our work, aims empower the subjects/students to act with an autonomous and critical performance in the context where they are inserted. This way, when carrying out the planning, it is necessary that the professor selects the texts considering the intended goals to the group and he defines the needed strategies to the development of reading activities with a view to assist the student in production of a comprehension for the text. Therefore, we develop a research-action with an qualitative and descriptive approach that started from the concern to know the routine of reading classes in two groups of eighth grader of elementary school at a State Public School located on Petrolina city-PE, in order to understand if the applied directions by the professor offer the necessary conditions to the achievement of a productive and relevant action with the reading. The analyses of the collected data make us concluded us that the collaborator professor demonstrates the sense of his function to mediate the teaching-learning process, however he cannot performance it in his action that is still considerable rooted to the traditional method. According to the bibliographic studies that were the theoretical basis for this work, mainly those that refer to the ideas defended by Solé (1998), Kleiman (1993,1995) and Marcuschi (2002, 2005, 2008), the efficiency in teaching reading is only possible through applicability of a teaching practice that considers the students’ previous knowledge, the social and cultural context where they are inserted and their wishes for readings that are meaningful for them. Thus, with the pretension to contribute positively for a possible change in the school reality and according to the analyses of detected data, we establish as general objective of this research: to analyze the teaching practice in order to produce a teaching support material for the professor. It will be possible with the presentation of a teaching of reading proposal focused on the social practices of student. This proposal is organized by four workshops easily applied and they involve texts as object of study that have a concordance with the students’ social life whose application is destined.
