This paper discusses the need of the literature activities in adult education. We present the analysis of some activities developed at The Reading Club Project, an extension project developed throughout 2006 which involved young and adult students. The Reading Club aimed at strengthening students’ literary literacy. In this paper, we first present a brief description of adult education in Brazil. Then, we present the context of the project, which was the Adult Education Program at UFMG and PROEF-2 where have developed activities that we want to report. This extension project, proposed and coordinated by this researcher, by their nature, is not part of the program of UFMG basic education of young people and adults, but it is an independent activity that happens inside it. We have developed throughout 2006 free reading activities of literary texts, always mediated by a scholarship holder, without examinations or presence control. Such care to ensure that the distances between book reader in this mode of education, seeking to promote situations focussed on strengthening of literary literacy of a group of 30 youths and adults students of this project school - PROEF-2.
