دانلود کتاب Reading Portraits In Brazil

The common purpose to insert culture, science and education into the basis of a fairer and more prosperous society unites Abrelivros (Brazilian Association of School Books), CBL (Brazilian Book Chamber) and SNEL (National Union of Book Editors) around the support for the Reading Portraits research in Brazil. In this context, the 4 th edition of the study promoted by the Instituto Pró-Livro contributes highly – as did the previous three – to diagnose who and where are the readers of our country and understand their expectations and demands. We celebrated the result of this year’s survey, which indicates the percentage of growth of the reading population in Brazil to 56%, against the 50% indicated in the previous study. Undoubtedly, the gains related to Brazilian education in recent decades have an important role in this expansion. Despite the recurrent quality problems, results such as the inclusion of children and young people in school, increase of years of schooling among the population and the reduction in the illiteracy rate have strong correlation with the enlargement of the readers’ universe in the country. Although necessary, this improvement in educational indicators is not yet sufficient for the diffusion of reading in Brazil.
