Abstract

This study is related to the nine-year education and analyzes pedagogical practices and the treatment of reading lessons in the first grade of elementary school. Therefore, the following objective was proposed: to analyze reading activities used by two literacy teachers who worked in the first grade of elementary school aiming to understand how these texts can contribute to the formation of a critical reader. The survey was conducted in two schools located in the southern state of Minas Gerais and the methodology used included the observation of classrooms, interviews with the participating teachers and also the development of a diary. Our work is based on a concept of reading as a social practice and understanding of literacy based on the ideological model that admits the existence of literacy practices that are determined by the social and cultural context of the subjects. The results showed an excessive concern with the teaching of letters and their sounds, which leads us to observe the primacy of the writing technology teaching in the school context.
