A leitura literária em escolas rurais de Conde – PB: o olhar do professor

Abstract

Reading and writing practices occupy a fundamental place in the human being formation as a reader. Being for pleasure or for obligation, they become more indispensable by offering conditions for the subject to develop himself/herself. This research has the purpose of investigating three different schools of the rural area in the city of Conde-PB, noticing the presence of the literary reading not only inside classroom, but observing the role that it has in students and teachers life. Therefore, we conducted interviews with 4th grade teachers in elementary school, in order to acquire information about student’s reader training. Specifically, our aim is to identify reading practices that involve literary reading in the classroom. Altogether, three (3) teachers from three (3) different schools were interviewed. We used, as instruments for data collection, interviews recorded in audio, with semi structured questions. From the theoretical point of view, we take as base the research made by Baranovichi (1997), Zilberman (2009) and Sousa (2008 and 2013). The information analyzed, lead us to conclude that teachers normally use a great variety of activities with literary text in order to practice reading, and they always try to associate it with grammar studies. We also check that teachers have a great difficulty in working with reading in a playful way, since there is no formation in school and no planning that includes this thematic and how it should be worked in classroom.
