In this article we discuss an intervention aimed at the continuous education and social bonding of older adults using improved reading and writing skills training. The goal was to develop reading aloud skills, critical reflection, creative writing, and cognitive stimulation. The methodology used was action research, with activities of dialogic reading and creative writing. An improvement was recorded in communication skills, knowledge of literary texts, memory development, concentration and analysis, ability to interrelate, collaboration, teamwork, and expression of feelings. Older adults can learn and interact, but they require inclusive spaces where, under proper guidance, their skills can improve. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyses the causes of the reading crisis and proposes appropriate strategies to carry out successfully the work of librarians/teachers in the fostering of reading habits. For this it is necessary to differentiate the role of instructional texts, informative texts and amusing readings in the development of homework that promotes the teacher as mediator in the student's relationship with literature. This mediation must be committed by an activity of effective reading instruction which promotes the reading character as work technique that results in the promotion of reading vocation.
