Avaliação Nacional da Alfabetização – ANA: reflexões sobre os resultados da avaliação de leitura no Estado do Ceará

Abstract

The search for quality in education is a goal that is linked to the performance of procedures that involve some form of evaluation. The State of Ceará has been developed, since 2007, the Literacy Program in Right Age – PAIC, whose main aim is literate children at the end of the 2nd year of elementary school. The state’s experience in developing this policy towards literacy inspired PNAIC, current Federal Government initiative. The Pact aims to alphabetize all children by the end of the 3rd year of elementary school, until the age of eight. Among the actions to achieve this goal is the application of a test that measures the level of literacy of children at the end of the 3rd year of elementary school: ANA – National Assessment of Literacy, which the results should serve to facilitate improvements in teaching and guiding training policies. This article brings some reflections about the results of ANA in the state of Ceará, applied in 2013, showing that the Ceará children at the end of the 3rd year, still showed difficulty in more complex skills of reading competence.
