FREITAS, Marinaide Queiroz  and  CAVALCANTE, Valéria Campos. Reading in youth and adult education and reader development. Perspectiva [online]. 2014, vol.32, n.1, pp.93-109. ISSN 0102-5473.  https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-795X.2014v32n1p93.

This article is part of a research paper conducted in 2009, which aimed to analyse the reading process used in Youth and Adult Education (EJA) post-literacy classes in municipal and state schools in Maceió, in the light of the analysis of reading, textual genres and literacy events and practices. This qualitative-interpretative investigation was based on case study. The results of this study indicated that the importance of reading as a way to strengthen literacy processes has been neglected at the surveyed schools, due to the fact that reading has proved to be of secondary importance both in the pedagogical projects and in classroom practices. The practice of a teacher, observed and mentioned in this article, showed that difficulties in dealing with reading and literacy were explicit, especially when linguistic foundations, which are key to working with reading, were concerned. Therefore, this professional often takes action intuitively or uses pedagogical practices experienced during her own schooling time.
