This research aims to investigate the difficulties encountered by students in the first phase of Youth and Adult Education in relation to the reading process, in a school in the municipality of Maués-AM. The methodological procedures were divided into three phases, exploratory, second field research and organization, third systematization and analysis of data collected through qualitative analysis. This study is guided by what the PCNs of (1998) are about and supported by theorists and recent research in the study area such as; Fouani and Coito (2013); Almeida and Corso (2015) that allowed us a better understanding of the research. With the research carried out, we observed that the teaching-learning process of the EJA is still fragmented, however, alternatives are being found along with the students' commitment to the teaching process, since they cannot be at the mercy of such difficulties.Acesso AbertoEJAEducação BásicaLeituraEscolaTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso
