This research aims to highlight the relevance of using the genre reader's letter in Portuguese classes as a resource to expand the textual and argumentative competence of students. In order to explore the functional and structural characteristics of a letter, it is possible to awaken in students an applicable knowledge to other argumentative type of genres and enrich hence its observations as a reader, since the work with letters promotes the analysis and reflection of its content and its compositional elements. In view of the principles of Systemic Functional Linguistics, this study was conducted following the assumptions of the Language Metafunction (HALLIDAY; MATHIESSEN, 2004) and the Theory of Valuation (MARTIN; WHITE, 2005). The analyzed corpus is composed of four reader s letters, evaluated demonstratively, and other twenty-six, presented with qualitative and quantitative assessments through table. Ten other selected reader s letters excerpts are also used. The material includes interpersonal exchanges and Engagement occurrences, Judgment and Assessment. The text of the authors of the letters was analyzed by identifying linguistic brands, interpersonal skills and especially of Valuation. In addition, other themes are explored, such cuts imposed to the letters that create the letter from the editor, and the importance of textual revision. The quantitative and qualitative results of the research show that the letters are written with the purpose of establishing exchanges of information and opinions on human behaviors and sometimes aesthetic evaluations of composition, reaction or social value, wherein the position of the author is revealed by his authorial Engagement. Thus, it appears that the use of reader's letters, in the classroom, allows students to broaden the exposure of skills of ideas, interaction with the interlocutor and different social practices
