This article presents research on the teaching of reading in a textbook for the 5th grade, focusing on the way of leading the education of an inquisitive reader. The aim is to present the possible links between the units of the book, established for an investigative reading, that is, a reading between the lines and, consequently, a reading of the implicit meanings. In this study, reading is viewed in a broader perspective, and the importance of oral language is considered as well. Firstly, a brief discussion on the reading approach in the school is presented, and then a preliminary analysis on the textbook is carried out. Finally, the text presents some comments on the results, as well as some considerations about the possibilities of approaching the units of the book in a different way.
