Leitura como fator de inclusão de crianças socialmente excluídas: o caso do conjunto João Paulo II em Fortaleza-Ceará

Abstract

The reading is considered by many scholars a tool for social transformation, to be able to allow human judgement about the things of the world and of itself. The study about the actions of reading as a facto r for inclusion of socially excluded children search show that it can contribute to changes in the lives of these children. The methodology used to achieve this study was the exploratory research, conducted in the light of dialectical method. The field of research work was the School of Primary / Secondary Education Professor Aloysio Barros Leal. The data were obtained through statistical analysis of interviews with parents and students, but also were used questionnaires to teachers in order to understand the contribution of school and family in the process of reading to children. This survey seeks to strengthen the debate on reading, as well as the contribution of school and family influence in the taste for reading. It is also helping with educators and scholars of the education to give more attention to disadvantaged social classes, it is they who have the largest deficit of reading, since we can say that the social factor is closely linked to access to reading, the purchase of books or even the field of reading and understanding. The results of this study indicated that the scope of reading reaches few students, and their absence is damaging to many of them, because children who declared not read or do not like to read, are living in the most degrading.
