Resumo
O presente trabalho enquadra-se no âmbito dos estudos sobre a problemática da promoção da leitura, dando especial atenção ao papel que a biblioteca escolar poderá desempenhar junto dos alunos para que estes adquiram o gosto pela leitura.
Relativamente ao enquadramento teórico, são focados aspectos relacionados com o ato de ler e a sua importância para o desenvolvimento cognitivo do aluno; o papel que a biblioteca escolar deve assumir enquanto mediadora de saberes e da sua importância junto dos alunos, pois, as atividades que são propostas, relacionadas com a promoção da leitura devem de ir ao encontro dos gostos dos alunos para que estes sintam prazer e não encarem os livros como uma obrigação.
No que diz respeito à investigação-ação desenvolveu-se um projeto de promoção da leitura, onde a biblioteca escolar assume um papel principal; foram dinamizadas atividades como, sessões de leitura, encontro com escritores, contadores de histórias e concursos literários. Este projeto, foi aplicado a duas turmas do 4º ano existentes na escola básica do 1º ciclo da Conquinha, Torres Vedras.
A escolha destes alunos deve-se ao facto de os mesmos pertencerem a uma turma enquadrada num ano de transição, ou seja, estão a completar um ciclo e a iniciar uma nova etapa, por isso, este projeto, teve como objetivo, revelar aos alunos o quanto as leituras podem contribuir para ampliar os seus conhecimentos. Para que tal acontecesse, o trabalho colaborativo entre professores, pais e a biblioteca escolar foi essencial, na medida em que permitiu unir esforços para que o trabalho da promoção da leitura se desenvolvesse. Ir ao encontro dos interesses e motivações dos alunos esteve na base da elaboração do projeto «Gosto de Ler!». A biblioteca escolar procurou o envolvimento dos alunos, estimulou-os a colaborar e a perceber que podiam atuar e envolver-se ativamente nas atividades propostas.
A análise dos dados recolhidos através dos vários instrumentos utilizados, grelhas de observação, relatórios e principalmente através do questionário inicial, permitiram uma reflexão sobre os hábitos de leitura dos alunos e perceber quais os seus gostos e o que é que os motivava para o prazer da leitura. O projeto «Gosto de Ler», foi elaborado a partir da análise dos resultados do respetivo questionário. O projeto teve como finalidade que os alunos adquirissem o gosto pela leitura e soubessem escolher que tipo de livros se adequava mais ao seu perfil.
This work delves into the field of studies that is concerned with the promotion of reading. It focuses mainly on the role that school libraries can play in making students develop a taste for reading. As far the theoretical framing is concerned, several related aspects are approached such as: the act of reading and its importance for the students’ cognitive development; the role that school library should have as a mediator of knowledge and its importance for students. The proposed activities, which are related to the promotion of reading, should therefore, match the students’ interests, so that they can see the act of reading as enjoyment and not as obligation. Regarding the means of research a project of promotion of reading was developed in which school library has the main role; different activities took place such as reading sessions, meetings with writers and storytellers as well as literary contests. This project was implemented in two 4th grade classes at Escola Básica do 1º ciclo da Conquinha, Torres Vedras. These students were chosen because they are attending a grade of transition, that is, they are finishing a cycle and preparing to start a new phase in their school life. So this project aims at showing the students how reading can broaden their knowledge. The collaborative work among teachers, parents and the school library was essential to achieve that goal, as it allowed the promotion of reading to develop. The project “I like reading” aimed at meeting the students’ interests and motivations. The school library looked for the students’ involvement, stimulating them to realize that they could get actively involved in the planned activities. Several instruments such as observation grids, reports and mainly the initial questionnaire allowed a reflection on the students’ reading habits as well as an understanding of their tastes and their motivations for reading. From the analysis of the results of the initial questionnaire came up the project “I like reading”. This project envisioned the development of a taste for reading in the students, as well as the ability to choose the right type of books for their profile.
