Leitura e in(formação) docente nas séries iniciais do ensino fundamental: do prazer de ler à necessidade de uma política de leitura

Abstract

Reading is fundamental for personal, social, academic or professional life, in a literacy, graphic and iconic society like ours. We are always reading in different social contexts. But teaching practices have not achieved an effective way of approaching the complexity of the act of reading nor of showing the social importance of reading in everyday cars-school activities. This study investigates the place that reading has in the everyday life of teachers. Questionnaires applied, were answered by elementary school teachers who teach 1st to 4th years in different schools. From the answers, one tried to analyse what was said about the books read and other materials. The feelings towards the act of reading, the reading situation between students and teachers according to the teacher's point of view were also analysed. The conclusion shows the necessity of reviewing the place of reading in shcools and teachers doing courses in this field as well as "new pedagogical ideas" sponsored by public politics".
