Time to think and to learn how to read the world

Abstract

With a redesigned graphic layout, this issue of the magazine brings together selected texts from the XVI National Meeting of the Association of the teachers of Portuguese, which took place at the University of Aveiro between July 3 and 5, 2025. Entitled "Orality and Literature in the Teaching of Portuguese," the meeting fostered reflection around the following question: What can we do in school, what can we do in the classroom so that our students learn to speak and listen thoughtfully, to read better, and to appreciate reading and love books, and if possible, go further, giving them the tools to learn to read the world?
