Introduction: Many studies about reading investigate the reading fluency as an important aspect to be observed in teaching and assessment during the learning process because of its relationship to performance in reading comprehension. Objective: This study aimed to map the pauses occurrences in oral reading of students from elementary school and their typology by perceptive evaluation of judges. Method: 97 students, two speech language pathologists and a pedagogue participated in the study. Data collection was performed with the recording of the oral production of reading and reading comprehension test, and observed the pauses taken by each student through the auditory trial of judges. Results: After statistical analysis it was observed that there was an agreement between at least two judges, but with reliability of power ranging from very low to moderate. Conclusion: These results can be explained by the variability in pause concept. These findings indicate the need for auditory training for teachers and/or clinicians.
