Reading and learning are closely related dimensions. From this, it is possible to imagine that the university needs to assume the role to promote literacy in the academy. In this perspective, this article aims to discuss the promotion of reading in the university through data collected in a class about reading strategies, to demonstrate, at the same time, the benefits of the didactic approach developed in this class. To this end, two questionnaires (one on the use of metacognitive reading and the other on reader behavior) were applied to twenty-five students of the second period of Letters in a public university in Minas Gerais, to understand the reading strategies used by students at the beginning of the undergraduate course. Results have shown that participants mobilize only some basic strategies during reading (relegating pre and post reading practices), indicating the need to develop other didactic activities that lead students to reflect on the reader's behavior.

Keywords : Reading; University; Reading strategies; Academic Literacy.
