The importance of reading from the perspective of students at the Filomena Lisboa Municipal School in the Brazilian Amazon

Abstract

This article aims to understand and analyze the importance of reading from the perspective of 4th grade students at the Filomena Lisboa Municipal School, located in the municipality of Fonte Boa in the state of Amazonas. The theme also raises the factors that hinder the reading and writing process. This is a qualitative research, in which the descriptive method was used, in order to locate some indications to collaborate with the dialogue of the reading teaching process. The results indicated that the lack of appropriate structure in the school and the lack of incentives from parents and guardians of the students are the major impeding factors. Despite the young age of the students involved, everyone already realizes the importance of reading for success in the learning process and in the formation of competent readers. With this, we suggest that teachers pay attention to the individual characteristics of their students, to seek to expand, together with them, the understanding of the importance of reading and writing, on the way to the formation of avid readers and participatory citizens in society.
