RESUMO

The present research is about the teaching of reading in Far Schools of Florianópolis. The context is the regulation of primary teaching which has occurred in Santa Catarina state since 1946. Because of the state‟s teaching system adaptation to Federal Laws, it was set a regulation for primary teaching schools decree n. 3.735/1946 establishing new teaching programs; among them, the Reading, Oral and Written Language Program for the Elementary Primary Course. In general, these documents‟ pedagogical directions kept the contents of the educational reorganization made by Orestes Guimarães, in the beginning of the XX century: the intuitive method, as a general orientation for all curriculum school subjects, and the analytic method, as a specific method to teach reading. The principles of the intuitive method were deepened and included proposals made by the New School (Escola Nova), which tried to involve the student actively in reading. Nevertheless, the proposals of teaching renewal were opposed to the control and vigilance devices upon teachers‟ and students practice and behavior. Centering our research in the space between prescriptions and practice, we analyzed the legislation in force at that time, the Reading and Language Program reading contents, the conditions in which the teaching occurred and the way teachers got the directions through their practice‟s report. Two moments of the teaching of reading were considered for this research: the teaching of reading in 1st grades, which includes the decoding of written language codes; the teaching of reading in the following grades, emphasizing the fluent and effective reading. Analysis revealed contradictions between the official reading method and the primer books sent to the Far Schools as well as contradictions between the proposals for reading diversifications, and the reading contents‟ control. Silently or not, teachers adopted the new directions according to their schools‟ goals and boundaries. In this way, the teaching of reading occurred through resistance and also agreement with official instructions, showing little ruptures, pointing evidences of changes in the school culture of Far Schools
