This paper proposes a research on how textbooks approach literary texts to identify the conception of literature that underlies activities proposed in them and the privileged textual typology. We present the analysis of five school textbooks listed by PNLD/2010 for the first grades of elementary school to six-year-old children. We adopted as instruments of analysis: a) construction of an analysis table to specify the physical and organizational aspects of the books; b) adaptation of the table built by Kaufman and Rodríguez (1995) to identify the textual typology selected by these school textbooks. Of the five analyzed textbooks, two of them keep an explicit concern with the education of readers, respecting the aesthetic function of literary texts and three of them are far from the conception of fruitive literature and explore literary texts as a pretext for language teaching.

Keywords : School textbooks; Fruitive literature; Education of readers..
