Abstract

In this article the purpose is to report psycholinguistic research that examined the relations between reading comprehension, reading procedures (whole text/part of the text; reading/rereading; supporting parts) and previous knowledge, considering three reading objectives: produce summary (1); search for specific information (2); propose solutions to the problems exposed in the text (3). For this, first are exposed the fundamentals of objective of reading (Solé, 1998; Giasson, 2000), reading comprehension and processing (Kato, 1999; Smith, 2003; Scliar-Cabral, 2008) and previous knowledge (Kleiman, 2000; Ramos, 2001). After that, the research in its design is described – objectives; research questions; subjects (91 students of the 1st year of High School, three groups, one by objective); instruments (reading comprehension, reading procedures and previous knowledge); and procedures for data analysis. The results from the data collected and treated are also exposed: favoring comprehension by reading the full text in objectives 1, 2 and 3; text rereading collaboration for comprehension in objective 2 (inverse in objective 3); favoring comprehension in objective 1 by the support in several segments of the text (inverse in objectives 2 and 3).
