The permanent formation of the human being has been an issue of several debates in the field of education aiming at one´s interaction with society, which is characterized by sociocultural and linguistic diversity and by the permanent learning, no matter the age group. Considering that, the main idea of this study is to investigate how the reading and writing practices are being approached in the modality of Young and Adults Education. At the same time, the article has as its aim to understand the relevance of these practices in the formation of these students in the perspective of Permanent Education. As theoretical background, we highlight the researches of Freire (1982,1983), Antunes (2010) and Soares (2001,2003). For that, the methodology is built on the qualitative approach based on a case study and the analysis are specifically carried out in the district of Cascavel, situated in the West region of the state of Paraná. The results point out that the reading and writing practices assume a dimension of great importance in the formation and insertion of these subjects in society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
