This research arises from our concern about the way textbooks are presented and used in Portuguese language classes in elementary school. We seek to understand why students lose the enjoyment of literature during the basic education and what responsibility different educational institutions, at different degrees, bear in the development of a critical reader. Thus, we focus the prime motivator and mediator of reading in the classroom, the teacher. Recognizing the importance of his intervention in the readers‟s development, including the selection of appropriate material, choice of teaching strategies, and encouragement of discussion and reflection by their students. For this, we analyze how the teacher has been prepared in his graduation course, to act as a social transformer, within the classroom. In order to asses some of the major theoretical foundations of reading, see how reading is taught in the classroom and point out elements that can act as auxiliaries in the process of teacher motivation, our qualitative research used semi-structured questions, asked of elementary school students, teachers in action and language students. With this study, we show that the reading books, given to elementary students are not always appropriate for this age group, and that the way that these material are presented and used, can turn student's way from the enjoyment of reading; teacher graduate courses in reading instruction, only discuss the theoretical aspects of reading instruction, without application in the classroom work. We also observed the skills and strategies taught in graduate instruction are just term lost during the teacher's training, without major consequences for their future performance in the classroom.
