Espaços de leitura neste mundo vasto mundo.

Abstract

Even nowadays books are still considered a product made for the elite, which affects the reading experience in several different situations, especially at school. For this reason, it is necessary to understand where these reading spaces can be made for the sake of promoting reading. It seems that in order to motivate new readers it is necessary to understand students’ experiences with reading and also understand how to create spaces inside and outside the school system in which they can read. From quantitative research and the implementation of a project of integrated actions with students from the first year of integrated high school, it was possible to delineate reasons and means to dynamize activities that would bring students closer to this activity. From the students' answers to questionnaires, it was found that reading is a part of students academic life, however it does not integrate their family life nor make them readers. Given this fact, tasks were developed to provide a new meaning to reading for students, such as literary literacy activities. Those activities were developed to dynamize and motivate students without reading habits, and also consolidate the culture of reading in the minority group of readers. This paper aims to show the importance of data collection to support activities.
