Given this scenario, the project “Social Tales: a proposal for reading andcreativewriting for 8th/9th grade YAE students” was conceived and developed at ColégioJoãodaCosta Pinto Dantas Júnior, in the district of Lagoa Redonda, in the municipalityofItapicuru/BA. This work was developed with the theoretical basis of various authors suchasTodorov, Gotlib, Candido, Cosson, among others. The project aims to work with books bytheBrazilian short story writers Antonio Carlos Viana and João Antonio, in order to broadenthestudents' world view and promote fictional reading. With this in mind, a PedagogicalNotebook was created for reading short stories and producing narratives, with collectiveandindividual activities to improve interpretation and writing. The proposal of literaryliteracyinthe YAE is essential to foster the habit of reading and textual production amongstudents,expanding their learning possibilities. In this way, this project focuses on awakeningstudents' interest in literature by reading short stories and writing creative narrative productions,connecting them with their social realities. The approach aims to develop reading andwritingskills through pedagogical practices that respect and value the students' life experiences.
