The ability of reading is an important part of teaching literacy and language acquisition. Reading improves the thinking ability by giving new concepts and ideas and enhances vocabulary and language which is essential in verbal communication. Because of the importance of reading, children and adolescents are encouraged to read by their parents, teachers and sometimes by national reading campaigns as an educational policy. Turkey launched a nationwide reading campaign targeting high school students in 2004, and another one aimed at primary school students in 2005 which is called the 100 Basic Literary Works reading campaign. This study investigated the reading habits of Turkish high school students. It also explored how students are influenced by family, teacher and peer group. Moreover, the study investigated the association between the students reading habits and their gender, school type and region. In addition, the study examined current efforts to encourage students to read. The study was conducted in 8 provinces and 8 districts of Turkey in 2012. The data was gathered thorough questionnaires with 2425 students from 86 high schools of 5 different types and interviews with 31 students, 15 teachers and 4 local education managers. The study found that 82.0% of young people in general read at least once or twice a week outside school for at least 30 minutes and 40.6% read every day or almost every day for leisure. It was found that females were more frequent and enthusiastic readers than males. The students from science high schools and Southern East Anatolia Region read more frequently. It was indicated that the majority of the students reported that they were aware of the 100 Basic Literary Works reading campaign but, in fact, they knew of the campaign in upper-primary school. The qualitative findings indicated that there was little awareness of the campaign in high schools. Libraries are important places to assist inculcate children s and young people s love of reading and provide free access to reading materials and sources but Turkish young people were not frequent users of libraries. Both teachers and students had concerns about lack of reading materials and poor facilities and services in public and school libraries in Turkey.

The selection of the study object started with the problem (that was born in the past and remains in the present) that some of the students leave school without developing the skills of interpreting texts. From this situation, it is asked: How to develop reading competence in the students? The material used by the teacher contributes (or not) to the mediation process in teaching and learning critical and reflective reading in high school? Thus, a qualitative research was carried out (Documental Analysis of the Program). It was revisited the concepts and practices of qualitative research, teacher training, teaching mediation, reading instruction. The selected documents for the analysis were: Curriculum of the State of São Paulo (2010a) and the books (teacher and student) of the 1st year of high school, connected with the program. The theoretical approach focused on studies of the language materialistic philosophy, particularly in Bakhtin (2000; 2006) and Vygotsky (1993; 1998). As a final result, it was found that the models of methodological proposals, suggested to the teaching and learning of reading, provided for the program, do not nurture the effective conditions, teaching mediating function, necessary for the construction of critical profile of the young reader. / O presente estudo teve como objetivo geral contribuir nas discussões crítico-reflexivas sobre o Programa São Paulo Faz Escola, identificando e analisando o papel mediador do professor de Ensino Médio, implícito nas propostas metodológicas de ensino e nas atividades de aprendizagem da leitura, sugeridas no Caderno do Professor e no do Aluno (2014-2017). A seleção do objeto de estudo partiu do problema (que nasce no passado e permanece no presente) de que parte dos alunos sai da escola sem desenvolver a competência de interpretação de textos. A partir dessa situação, questionamos: Como desenvolver a competência leitora nos alunos? O material utilizado pelo professor contribui (ou não) para o processo de mediação no ensino e na aprendizagem da leitura crítico-reflexiva, no Ensino Médio? Assim, foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa qualitativa (Análise Documental do referido Programa). Foram revisitados os conceitos e práticas de pesquisa qualitativa, formação docente, mediação docente, ensino de leitura. Os documentos selecionados para a análise foram: o Currículo do Estado de São Paulo (2010a) e os Cadernos (do professor e do aluno) da 1ª série do ensino médio, acoplados ao Programa Paulista. O aporte teórico utilizado centrou-se nos estudos da filosofia materialista da linguagem, sobretudo em Bakhtin (2000; 2006) e Vygotsky (1993; 1998). Como resultado final, ficou constatado que os modelos de propostas metodológicas, sugeridas para o ensino e aprendizagem de leitura, previstos no programa paulista, não oportunizam condições de efetivação, na prática, da função mediadora docente, necessária à construção do perfil crítico do jovem leitor.
