This work is the result of a research of practice of literary literacy from the representation of the old age in the short stories “A volta do campeão” (2000), “O violin” (2000) and “Lembrança” (1970), written by Luiz Vilela. First justified by the importance of literature for the formation of the subject, in the case of the perception of oneself has about the community he belongs. Second, for the thematic approaches questions about feelings from the social subjects and, also, for the greater practicality in working the gender (tale) with the students involved. The aims are literary literacy of the students in the fifth grade of elementary public school in Campina Grande, and the discussions about old age can offer, bringing to the classroom a question that is the reality for some students. At the end we supported the research in the case study, from descriptive and interpretative nature. As theoretical assumptions, was used the systematization of Rildo Cosson (2014) of literary literacy. In relation to others theoretical and thematic aspects, we based on Alfredo Bosi (1983); Campos (2003); Antonio Candido (2002); Magda Soares (2014), and others. Presenting an approach based on discursive conception and interactional of teaching, this research is grounded in the application of the basic sequence, submitted by Cosson(2014), for the students can be able to read, interpret and produce texts as source of intellectual and human formation. As result, we verified that the reading tales offering significant experience, with interpretation and production of meaning from part of the students, being achieved the first aim, through the literary literacy, contribute for them become active readers in the reading process, more sensible and human.
