FORMAÇÃO DE LEITORES EM SALA DE AULA

Abstract

This work presents two different reading practices in a classroom. The subjects were adults taking literacy classes. The first reading practice shows a traditional approach to reading, which conceives reading as oral production of writing, although trying to develop critical readers. The second presents some results from a research into these adults’ interests for literary texts. Such research is based upon a theory about reader as a voluntary giver of meaning (Foucambert, 1994). The approach to data is based upon literacy studies developed by Kleiman (1995).
