Brazilian schools use print media to enhance student literacy

Educational institutions in Brazil are utilizing print media to enhance literacy and student engagement. In Floresta, Paraná, fourth-grade students at Escola Municipal Victor Tonietti used the Jornal do Povo as a pedagogical tool. The activity focused on teaching students to identify news elements such as headlines, images, and captions, while helping them understand the essential components of journalistic texts: what, who, when, where, how, and why.

In Joinville, students at Escola Municipal Doutor Abdon Baptista use Revista Its Teens to support pedagogical practices. The publication serves to expand vocabulary and foster a love for reading. The magazine also features a collaborative model where student ambassadors suggest topics and contribute ideas, allowing them to see the social function of writing and participate directly in the content creation process.
