Résumé:
This work shows the results of the research in the reading area realized with the group
of 4th final cycle of Fundamental Teaching. The main aim is to present the development of the students' reading in that level, considering the multimodality of the language. Thinking that school should offer basic subsidies to the students in order to able them to read several multimodal texts that are presented in our day-by-day, we intended to work with reading activities emphasizing the relevance of the multimodal resources for the composition of the text sense. As the most of the multimodal texts, which ones we interact, presents a publicity content, we decided to work in this research with the publicity genre. This dissertation is based on the theoretical approaches on multimodality and visual context (Dionísio, 2006, 2005; Walt, Fonseca and Cury, 2000; Kress and van Leeuwen, 1996) and in the literacy conceptions (Soares, 2002, 1998; Barton, 2000; and Barton and Hamilton, 2000). As a result of the investigation, we could find some aspects: I - First of all, the text comprehension is just based on the verbal language, according to the students' tradition with reading practices strictly based on the verbal/writing modality, fact that was gradually overcome in the course of the developed activities; II - Afterwards, the multimodal aspects became mobilized in the composition of the text sense. Thus, most of the results points out the coherence with the multimodality notion, evidencing that this kind of work, in fact, can contribute to helping the students appropriate themselves of a wider ranging and deeply perspective of reading. Finally, we could conclude that the new social
literacy practices demand people who are able to read texts constituted of several
languages with more proficiency. As a result of this, we think that the pedagogical
practices should present teaching propositions which work, not only the verbal
modality, but the visual modality in a systematized way.
