O uso dos descritores no ensino de leitura: uma proposta de intervenção pedagógica

Abstract

Reanding and to understanding verbs are distinct meanings and two skills that converge to a third: interpreting. No doubt, such capabilities are complementary and inseparable for the reading competence every teacher hopes to see well developed in their schooling. From this point of view, reading drives the information to critical reflection of the facts and learning to stand before them. However, to acquire this purpose, understanding the text and the communicative intention of the author is no easy task and requires performing procedures that go beyond decode words, it needs also to uncover other explicit elements and / or implicit in the text and that without their understanding, proficient reading becomes limited. In this perspective, we have as a general objective to investigate the reading competence of the students of a 9th grade class from a state school in the municipality of Currais Novos / RN, based on the use of the descriptors proposed in the Reference Matrix of Portuguese Language. As more specific goals, we propose to identify the difficulties of students in reading practices and intervene, pedagogically, to encourage and contribute to the development of this competence using the said descriptors as strategies of reading the discursive genres news and comics strip. This interventional proposal falls under the Research Action, as continuing attempt to improve the pedagogical practice, in view of the intention to organize procedures that could resolve the difficulties in reading and understanding readers of students. The theoretical framework signed in the design of genres as discursive social practices, in Bakhtin ([1992] 2006, 2011), the foundation for working with language as a social reality, an interactional perspective. Regards reading and comprehension strategies, the studies developed by Leffa (1996), Solé (1998), Kleiman (2000, 2007), Koch and Elias (2006), Oliveira (2010); The elaboration of the didactic sequences was organized from Schneuwly and Dolz (2004), besides adopting the guidelines on the teaching of Portuguese Language, contained in the National Curriculum Parameters (1998), as well as authors such as Riolfi (2008), Oliveira (2010), Suassuna (1995), among others. The results obtained pointed to significant advances in the development of reading skills of the students involved, indicating that the use of descriptors as a proposal of pedagogical work favored students' performance in reading activities. Another signaled aspect was the contribution of the study of the genres through didactic sequences for the formation of the reader as a reflexive subject, since the reading strategies used provoked in the student-reader a mobilization of knowledge for the autonomous and critical reading of the read texts.
