Such assessments are prepared using competency descriptors, which are aimed at analyzing texts. Reality has shown that many students go to school without, however, fully appropriating reading, writing, text production and interpretation. Thus, teaching practices aimed at the study of texts are essential, identifying the main difficulties encountered by students in the face of issues involving textual interpretation, and thus preparing them to perform well in the main national tests, in addition to preparing them to personal and professional life. Given the importance of reading, this work was developed, aiming to prepare students for the main national assessment tests and provide them with the development of their understanding and expressiveness. This work was developed at the teacher Douglas Apratto Tenório municipal school of basic education, located in the city of Penedo Alagoas. Interviews were carried out with the class teacher, application of a socioeconomic questionnaire with students, application of diagnostic test 1, development of activities, application of diagnostic test 2 and, finally, application of a satisfaction survey. The results showed that students had great difficulty in analyzing texts and after the intervention with the activities, these results became satisfactory.ptTextosLeituraEscolaDescritoresAtividades.Foco na leitura: abordando a língua portuguesa através dos textosTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoLINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES
