This dissertation resulted from a research carried out in the Master in Education Program, line of research 2 The Professor s Background and Pedagogical Practice, of Universidade do Oeste Paulista. It was carried out to investigate the need and pertinence of a reading work done as a learning mediation element in a college course. One tried to learn about reading habits and literary preferences to analyze the students difficulties concerning reading and text writing, besides considering the importance of providing a course of reading and text writing to academic public. The research is characterized as a quantitative-qualitative one, comprising 35 students attending a Dentistry course at a private Higher Education Institution in São Paulo State, in a reading and text interpretation course, developed along 18 sessions, comprising two hours each of them. One made use of questionnaires, participation of students during such sessions and documents provided by the undergraduate office of the institution showing the students academic achievement before and after the course at issue. As far as its results are concerned, even recognizing the limitations of the research, it was possible to conclude that a course which has reading as a mediator of knowledge acquisition is necessary and pertinent to help students acquire cognitive habits favoring the exploration of written texts. Gaps related to previous knowledge show that working with reading even at college level should not be considered as inherent to specific disciplines, but should interact with them within a cooperation context, in which reading is viewed as important due to the mediation of knowledge, and has implications for the students improvement in various disciplines which compose the curriculum subjects of the course at issue. Concluding, its results show that the students who do reading and text interpretation tend to reach a higher level of achievement in learning the disciplines of the course.
