Oficina de leitura: uma alternativa prática no domínio da linguagem

Abstract

The Reading Project Livro Aberto, created in April 2008, is an initiative of the teacher of Portuguese João José Lopes, of Imaculada Conceição School, Porto Firme (MG). It is a result of its concern with disabilities in reading, interpretation and production of written texts of the elementary and secondary education. It has a proposal to establish a connection between oral communication and writing, to improve fluency and production of texts from different genres. It presents reading as a tool for understanding of the various discourses surrounding it, aimed at educating readers and producers of texts, in a critical and constructive perspective. It targets the student body of the school throughout the period of the school year and their pedagogical principle takes place through reading, comprehension and production of texts. Its execution is not restricted to classrooms - it is a proposal that seeks partnerships with other teachers of physics or of different disciplines, but also the participation of librarians, storytellers and volunteers from the school community.
