Promoção da leitura no ensino secundário: os projetos individuais de leitura em Literatura Portuguesa

Abstract

Nowadays, the promotion of reading is imperative, given its benefits for the education of individuals and for school success, so it should mobilize the school to renew reading teaching and learning methods, especially literary reading, the most deficient skill. This need is especially relevant in high schools, as reading habits decrease as young people age. In our study, we tried to tackle the lack of reading habits in a 10th grade Portuguese Literature class by applying an action-research project, according to the project methodology. The reading project we developed was designed according to principles inherent to reading modalities usually referred to as reading workshops, reading clubs or circles, book clubs, virtual reading clubs or reader communities. It was applied during one school year - 2017/2018.
