Abstract

It is extremely necessary to have a discussion about literary reading as an instrument of social formation and this research was developed with this objective, based on studies by authors such as Cosson (2014), Paulino (2014), Jouve (2012), Freire ( 2003), Pressley (2002), Duke and Pearson (2002), Antônio Candido (1995), Yunes (1995) among others who reflect on the topic at hand. Literature is, in addition to being a cultural asset, a gateway to knowledge, development of sensitivity, concentration, imagination, writing, cognitive and linguistic aspects, in which the school plays a fundamental role, being the main source of access to this well. The study constitutes a bibliographical and documental research whose results were obtained in a qualitative way, classifying itself, in terms of purposes, in descriptive research. Among the results obtained during the research, we can highlight that the quick access to information through electronics and social networks means that reading is no longer seen as a priority, young people today no longer need to read a newspaper, for example, to get news. of the world around you, just ask a question to the electronic device that fits in the palm of your hand. As a result, the concept of the importance of literary reading for life as a whole is also being lost. To assist the teacher in the reader's training journey, important scholars have developed strategies that can be used with students in the classroom, making it possible to connect reader and reading.
