Abstract This text discusses issues concerning (auto)biographical research in the Brazilian educational context and its interfaces with school reader development practices by taking biographical narratives of teachers working in rural areas, in reading scenes, in the perspective of reinventing reading periods in the daily school life of multigrade classrooms. Rural schools in Chapada Diamantina set the scene in which teachers seem to transgress the usual treatment given to literature, as a dispositive to overcome silencing in contrast to the traditional curriculum approach of literary texts. Narrative interviews have been taken as primary sources, in order to allow us to grasp the movements that shape these practices, especially in the context of rural/multigrade education, as a way of confrontation, through screams, resistances and hearings, of the various ruralities that configure rural territories of Brazil/Bahia. The narratives allow us to perceive gaps in the adverse institutional conditions of the teaching role, indicating possible challenges that teachers and students face in the reconceptualization of the work with literature and cultural practices of reading
