Literary reading and the humanities. A case study of this “Reading Plot”

Abstract

This article deals with the literary reading training of young people focusing on its impact on the development of these students in the History discipline. Through an intertwining between bibliography of literary reading training and a case study from interviews carried out with a group of students from the private school system in São Paulo, we seek to scrutinize possible correlations with the learning of Human Sciences subjects, primarily History. To this end, we divided the text into three sections: in the first, we resumed some key postulates of the debate on literary training for young
people. In the second, we analyzed the data collected from the interviews. Finally, we seek to establish correlations and approximations between the literary training of these young people and the learning of Human Sciences in a school environment.
