More specifically, it aims to address the formation of the literary reader promoted by the school, considering the role of the teacher as mediator, the importance of the appropriate selection of literary works and the need for pedagogical practices that arouse interest and pleasure in reading. It also sets out to reflect on the challenges faced in the process of introducing literature into everyday school life and to suggest possible paths for a critical, sensitive and meaningful reading education, in line with curriculum guidelines and contemporary social demands. For this study, the theoretical framework consists of authors such as Cosson (2022) and Zilberman (1990), as well as documents that govern teaching, such as the Common National Curriculum Base (BNCC, 2018). Other authors mentioned include Roxane Rojo (2009), who addresses multilearning, and William Roberto Cereja (2004), who proposes a dialogical approach to literature.ptAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 BrazilLetras – PortuguêsLiteratura – EnsinoLeitor literário – FormaçãoLetramentoReader educationLiteracyTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoLINGUISTICA, LETRAS E ARTES::LETRAS
