A importância da Leitura e Escrita nas séries finais do Ensino Fundamental

Abstract

Through observations and workshops carried out in a public school, it was possible to highlight and understand the crisis in the teaching of reading and writing in the final grades of elementary school, so that the student often concludes elementary school without knowing how to read critically or interpret a text. This discussion is the product of a field research that investigated the reading and writing practices developed in the classroom to detect/minimize the difficulties of students in the final years of elementary school in the school selected in the study. The bibliographic survey was based on Lerner (2002), Grossi (2008), Mercado (2002), Leopoldo (2002), among others. The methodology was guided by Gil (2010), Martins (1986), Marconi and Lakatos (2017), to carry out the bibliographic survey, techniques and methods of research work. The research consisted of 22 students of both sexes, being students of a 9th grade class of the morning shift and 01 teacher trained in the area of Portuguese Language who teaches classes in Elementary School II. The results collected in a descriptive and interpretative way show that at the Municipal School located in Tefé/AM, students have the habit of reading frequently, however, contact with diverse texts happens only in the classroom. In this sense, it is essential to highlight that reading brings benefits by adding knowledge, expanding vocabulary and improving writing. In view of the above, it is good to point out that the teacher faces major challenges in the classroom, with regard to the practice of reading and writing by students, who show little enthusiasm when it comes to reading and writing
