A formação do leitor: objetivos e estratégias de leitura

Abstract

The PCNs in Portuguese Language, document published in 1998, present some suggestions to teaching reading and among theam we have: “it’s necessary to reflect with the students on the different kind of reading and the procedures that these readings acquire from the reader. They are different tasks: reading for pleasure, reading for writing, reading for studying, reading for finding out what is to be done, reading for identifying the author’s intention, reading for reviewing...”(p.61). However teachers who work with reading in the Fundamental and Medio Grade students (teachers who worry with reader’s formation and with the development of reading strategies) were asked, in a Specialization Course, about the different kind of reading quoted in PCNs and they could not characterize them. The present work tries to bring some elements to make teachers reflect on the necessity of developing reading strategies to these different kind of reading – procedures acoording to the reader’s objectives.
