Adequações e inadequações de um livro didático para a formação do leitor literário

Abstract

This article aims to present an analysis of a Portuguese Language Textbook from the fifth year of elementary school, showing the adequacies and inadequacies of this teaching material for the formation of the literary reader. The data presented here are excerpts from a doctoral thesis in Education. The analysis was based on the assumptions of the Philosophy of Language and authors who understand the act of reading as a dialogic process. It is concluded that although the Textbook is composed of a diversity of literary textual genres, most of them presented in full, which is a positive factor of the analyzed material, the questions posed by the organizers of the work did not contribute to the apprehension of the aesthetic quality of the book. text and in some sections the texts were used as pretexts for linguistic study
