Um estudo sobre as principais dificuldades no processo de aquisição da leitura no 5°ano do Ensino Fundamental na escola U. E. F. Cleômenes Falcão, em Bacabal – MA

Abstract

The practice of reading provides individuals with the possibility of freely entering society, playing an essential role in its maintenance and growth. It transcends human behavior in a reflexive manner, which, upon understanding its importance, begins to grow progressively, expanding its understanding of everything that surrounds it. In this light, the choice of the theme of this descriptive study using the quantitative method was motivated by the observation that it involves much discussion, use of common sense, didactics, ethics itself and the legislation in force in the country regarding the innate right to quality education, and that it is crucial to seek a consensus on what is best for improving the quality of Brazilian education. Thus, it is based on the following problem. What are the difficulties related to learning to read in the 5th grade of Elementary School and their consequences? The general objective of the study included analyzing the difficulties of reading in the 5th grade of Elementary School and their consequences for students. The specific objectives were to highlight the importance of reading for 5th grade students; demonstrate the use of reading as a didactic-pedagogical procedure to aid the teaching-learning process and expose the main difficulties related to the practice of reading in Brazilian schools and possible solutions. At the end, it is concluded that based on what was detected through the research carried out with teachers from U. E. F. Cleômenes Falcão in the city of Bacabal–MA on the difficulties of reading in the 5th grade of Elementary School, it was pointed out that, although all the teachers who work in this class have higher education in the pedagogical area, these teachers still have difficulties in developing the practice of reading in the classroom for several reasons, one of the major problems being that it is found that students do not know how to read when they start the school year, which makes the work difficult, since they should already be literate in the 5th grade so that they can learn new knowledge related to their age and school stage in which they are studying.
