The article discusses an important dimension of education today and points out suggestions for the improvement of the National Textbook Program (PNLD), considering its importance to the improvement of the quality of Brazilian education. The methodological procedures adopted for the preparation of this work are made up of bibliographic and documentary research, a questionnaire with 36 teachers of the early years of elementary education in a municipal education network in the State of São Paulo. We argue that PNLD can constitute an element for increasing the cultural capital of students, especially the weaker sections of society, who, in general, do not have access to books, and that it can be a relevant teaching resource in the pedagogical work of teachers. We propose, through critical analysis, that the PNLD distributes, to every basic education student, textbooks that really belong to them.
