De volta à estante pela for you: autoria e booktok como estratégias de incentivo à leitura no ensino fundamental II

Abstract

In a context marked by the influence of digital media and the decreasing time devoted to deep reading, this study presents the project “Back to the Bookshelf through the For You”, developed from the creation of a didactic unit aimed at middle school students. The expression For You refers to the TikTok feed that suggests personalized content, symbolizing the return of literature to spaces of youth interest. The proposal seeks to rekindle students’ interest in literary reading through the production of original books and the dissemination of short videos inspired by BookTok, a virtual community of readers who share recommendations and reflections on literary works. The methodology was based on authorship practices, multiliteracies, and digital culture, articulated with project-based learning. The development included stages such as writing the literary works, preparing summaries and reviews, recording short videos, and applying a reflective questionnaire. The project was carried out in a small private school and included adaptations for a student with Down syndrome. The results indicated greater student engagement with reading and writing, as well as the strengthening of skills such as synthesis, orality, and digital expression.
