Abstract

The purpose of this investigation is to explore the reading profile of fifth-year children in a private elementary school in the city of Vacaria, checking the reading strategies used by them while playing on the website Click Jogos. This investigation is supported by Larrosa’s reflexions (2002, 2003, 2011), Freire’s (1987, 2003) and Soares’ (2002, 2005) regarding the reading; Chantier’s (1998, 2002a, 2002b), Lévy’s (1996, 2001) and Bakhtin’s (2003, 2004) regarding the supports and reading enunciations; Santaella’s (2004, 2014a, 2014b, 2014c), Solé’s (1998), Kato’s (1999) and Kleiman’s (2008) regarding the different reader styles and reading strategies and Huizinga’s (2000), Caillois’ (1990) Mattar’s (2010) and Primos’ (2003a, 2003b) regarding the game itself. The methodological approach used is empirical, of qualitative character, from content analysis (BARDIN, 2004), showing the organizing, coding and categorizing process of the corpus, composed by enunciations produced in two moments in the computer laboratory in school X, thus registered: a) in the online survey, twenty participants in the same date and time, this sought to identify the preferred websites and select the one that would be used in the next step of the research; b) the audio and video verbal protocols (ERICSSON; SIMON, 1993) selected, when four of the participants, male and female, with distinct ages, individually in different time and dates, clearly related the actions and the procedures they executed, while reading and interacting with games of their interests in Click Jogos. After transcribing the selected verbal protocols, were identified and named four categories, gathering and analyzing the enunciations of the subjects that: a) show the path travel up to Click Jogos; b) evince how they choose the games; c) show the responsive position (BAKHTIN, 2003, 2004) and the reading strategies and browsing through hypertexts, scanning if the experience is revealed (LARROSA, 2002, 2003, 2011); d) show how they leave Click Jogos. The fifth-year students of elementary school uncover before, or simultaneously the printed enunciations, the enunciations that belong to their readout of the world (FREIRE, 1987, 2003) and precedes the word reading, showed in different types of screens (desktop, notebook, tablet and smartphone). These readers, when reading in different screens, elect as reading material the digital games, composed by hypertexts, verbal enunciations, visual (static or moving) sonorous and hybrid. The reading through the digital game represents a challenge to the reader; so, when playing, he might assume responsive position, taking responsibility, placing himself, acting and using different reading and browsing strategies: scanning the screen, browse, look for the target, holding himself at the reading enunciations; also, selects, anticipates, infers and control everything that is read. Yet, this reading might enable appropriation, invention, production of meanings and directions to the hypertext by the reader.
