This dissertation, attached to the Project of Research Practices of language and teacher training (UFPA-Castanhal), starts from the hypothesis that, if the students get theoretical-methodological basis regarding the work with the discursive genres, taking them as the axis of progression and of curricular articulation in the learning of the Portuguese Language, can carry out a significant work, based on productive pedagogical proposals, aimed at the formation of critical readers. In this way, the research has as its theme and criticism reading , from the work with the genre fable, in a class of the 9th year of elementary education. The general objective of the work is to reflect on the student's responsiveness in reading teaching and learning in order to train critical readers. As specific objectives, we propose to: a) investigate the efficacy of reading activity, suggested in the intervention proposal, focused on the localization and understanding of discursive inferences; b) identify and describe the levels of responsiveness of the students in reading during the written activity. In the light of Applied Linguistics, the research is based on the socio-historical perspective of language, based on the theoretical presuppositions of the Circle of Bakhtin and researchers who follow this aspect, also using contributions from Psicolinguistics, in what concerns the work with the reading. Regarding responsiveness, we are based on the categories of Bakhtin (2003), the studies of Menegassi (2008) and the research of Ohuschi (2003). The research is an action research, qualitative-interpretive, ethnographic and applied nature, in which we elaborate a proposal of pedagogical intervention that we developed in a class of 9th grade and, within the scope of the classes, we collected the activities of Reading, answered in writing by students, to check the level of student responsiveness. Thus, with the intention of encouraging students to act in a meaningful way in the construction of knowledge, among the possibilities of working with the discursive genres, we chose the methodological proposal of Lopes-Rossi (2008. As a result of the students' performance, we can point out that most of them show a critical and participatory reading in understanding the textual and discursive implicitness of the text / statement, since most of the students' responses react to active responsive attitudes. From the reactions of the students in answering the questions, we identified that all the students presented active expansive responsiveness of explanation. Besides this responsiveness presented by all, we can highlight the active expansive responsiveness of: comment and exemplification, criticism, opinion, suggestion, injunction, rhetoric, comparison. The results also showed active responsiveness without explanatory and exemplary expansion, at levels of agreement and disregard, silent responsiveness at the levels of understanding and doubt. Regarding the efficacy of the proposed questions of the reading activity, we can emphasize that the questions that were elaborated with the support of the contextualization of the discursive function of the gender and references to social problems stimulated a more expressive number of responsiveness of the students than those who did not resources.
