Práticas de letramento literário no Ensino Fundamental: leitura e interpretação de O Santo e a Porca de Ariano Suassuna

Abstract

Reading and interpreting skills are essential for the development of our students. Thus, it is increasingly challenging for teachers to develop literary literacy work because students often reach the final years of elementary school without consolidating reading skills and thus do not constitute themselves as readers by fruition. In addition, the readings chosen to be worked in the classroom do not take into account the previous knowledge of the student, the social environment in which he is inserted and even less what is of interest to him. In this perspective, we have proposed an activity with Ariano Suassuna's The Saint and the Nut, which is light, fun, with an accessible language and an easy-to-understand theme, so that the students are motivated to read and later produce a critical review to present their opinions on the work, recommending it or not to the school. In this way, through a reading with focus on the author-text-reader interaction, we help the students in the consolidation of the reading skills, which allowed them to construct the meanings of the text. After completing the work with the chosen work, we encourage students to search for other literary works of the authors of Paraiba, so that they could broaden their knowledge about our literary culture, resignifying the place of the literature Paraibana in Our school and encouraging reading by fruition. The subjects involved are the 9th grade students from a school in the municipality of Logradouro - PB. The type of work developed was an action research, with bibliographic bias and the development of a proposal of intervention and qualitative analysis of the data. Our methodology turns to literary literacy, developing the basic sequence proposed by Rildo Cosson (2009). The theoretical basis of this research is based on the studies of Koch and Elias (2013), Solé (1998), Geraldi (2000), Souza and Feba (2011), Abreu (2006), among others, besides BNCC(2017). We believe, therefore, that reading and analyzing Ariano Suassuna's The Saint and the Nut enlarged the literary heritage of the students, as well as aided in the knowledge of the theater genre with the group in which the work was developed, to recognize the subtleties, particularities, meanings, extent and depth of literary constructions, as proposed by BNCC.
