Reading is an activity that can be used to teach subjects of chemistry. Text about river pollution of the city was explored in order to teach and verify the comprehension of the subject of phenomena. After debated Chemistry and Biology classes, questions of specific knowledge about chemical, biological and physical phenomena and general knowledge about water pollution and sewage treatment were applied for students of three first level classes of public high school which are attended by Center of Activity for Citizenship Promotion of the State University of Montes Claros. The phenomena identification was unsatisfactory concerning the level of correct answers lower than 60, 54 and 21% for chemical, biological and physical phenomena, respectively, whereas water pollution question presented level of correct answers higher than 95%. Good answers were obtained for the sewage treatment question demonstrating that students agree with the necessity this action to preserve the water of river. The students were not able to do the reading of a way deeper to answer the question about specific content correctly.
