Biblioteca itinerante na escola: uma proposta para a formação de leitores

Abstract

Training readers in a country where there are difficulties in accessing books by most of the population, due to unequal social conditions, is a challenge, but also a commitment that must be assumed by the bodies responsible for education at all levels, and, specially, by the public school. For it has tools capable of acting to promote the democratization of reading. The main tool is the school library, which consists not only of a physical space within the school, but also of a movement in favor of the dissemination of reading in the school space, so that the student is given the opportunity to insert in his daily life one more element, the book. Thus, this study listed as a central objective, the promotion of access to books to students from a public school that is part of the Pará state network in the district of Icoaraci, in the city of Belém do Pará, through the creation of an itinerant library. The library was organized with collections from the National Program Library at School – PNBE (Programa Nacional Biblioteca na Escola). In order for the collections to be available to all students at the institution, a reading project was carried out, with the participation of the school's teaching and technical staff, with the main activity being the Itinerant Library at School Day. However, only five classes of Elementary School II (Ensino Fundamental II) were accompanied by the teacher-researcher. These classes received incentives to borrow books during classes that are specific for reading, in which the teachers sought reading strategies that took into account the particularities of each student when coming into contact with polysemic texts. Action research was chosen as the methodology for collecting and discussing data. The theoretical discussion is based on Zilberman (1991), Lajolo (2006), Lajolo, Zilberman (1996), Gebara (2002), Abreu (2006), Ferrera (2009), Sales (2014), De Maria (2016) and others. As a main result of the analysis of the methodological instruments, there is an increase in the students' position for literary reading due to the access to books and the use by the mediator of reading practices that considered, mainly, the comprehension capacity that the beginning reader presents when coming into contact with a literary text.
