Reading practices of literacy teachers: how do you teach reading?

This research sought to know how has been the practices of literacy teachers in reading teaching with their students, in classes of the 2nd. year of elementary school in a public school in the southern region of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which has been obtaining the highest indexes in Ideb in the municipality and neighboring regions, reaching 7.3 in 2015 and 6.9 in 2017. The methodological focus of the research is centered in the qualitative and descriptive approach based on interviews and semi-structured questionnaire applied to three teachers and a coordinator of the mentioned school. The results indicate that the school has been successful in the literacy indexes for several factors: the teachers feel confident and valued in the school; the figure of the coordinator is multifaceted, acting as promoter of the literary reading among the students and as articulator of the joint practices of the teachers; the school invests in simulations and tests similar to those collected by the MEC; there are proposals for "home reading" developed by pedagogical coordination. The results of the research indicate that the success of reading and writing practices are not related to the choice of a teaching method or methodological proposal defined by the school, but by a work involving partnership and pedagogical management.
