O PAPEL DA LEITURA NO DESEMPENHO ACADÊMICO: DESAFIOS E IMPACTOS NO CONTEXTO UNIVERSITÁRIO

This article aims to analyze the impacts of reading on academic performance, highlighting how this skill influences academic performance and the integral formation of students. The bibliographic research carried out based on repositories such as SciELO.org investigates how critical reading contributes to the development of essential skills, including analysis, argumentation and communication necessary, both in the academic environment and in the future professional career. The results showed that, although academic reading is important, many students face difficulties due to technical terminology and the lack of previously developed reading skills. To address these challenges, the study suggests the implementation of supportive pedagogical policies and practices, such as reading workshops, peer tutoring, and support for textual production, as well as an inclusive approach that values the diversity of student profiles. The promotion of reading from basic education is recommended as a means of better preparing students for higher education and the job market.
