Abstract:

This quantitative and qualitative study is aimed to diagnose and promote the use of new technologies in teaching literature reading in Public (State) Schools, assessing materials accessibility and computer skills. The research consisted of three distinct steps: 1. A survey to detect teachers’ and students’ computer skills, their use of computers and accessibility; 2. Search and list websites where users can either read or download Brazilian literature books; 3. Workshops on where and how to access these books. This research is also intended to reflect upon electronic books and their impact on reading.
