RESUMO
This dissertation aims at analyzing and understanding the voices of sixth graders in a private junior high school in São Paulo, Brazil, when they speak about their ideas and notions concerning reading within the school context. Based on the readings of literary works carried out within a school year, a questionnaire was developed to investigate two main aspects: the notions of reading and literature that these readers have and to what extent these notions are conditioned by school reading practices. The ideas of Calkins (1989) on the role of the reading class, specifically planned for this purpose, helped us in the search for the reader and not the book. This dissertation also reports the voice of a child during reading when a dialogue is established as an attempt to write the reading, as Barthes puts it (1987). To understand these voices, the analysis of the pedagogical reading practice involving literary books is also developed. This analysis focuses on the inside of the classroom, taking into account the implementation of a reading program that aims at the education of the student as a literature reader who is able to recognize the book as an aesthetics object. The analyses of both the voices of the children and the reading program makes it possible to revise contemporary reading practices within the classroom, based on the understanding of reading as a cleavage between what is being read and what has been read before and as a thought provoking activity.
