This paper focuses on the reflection about the way the work was planned and developed with two written documents, with the purpose of influencing the teachers’ belief that it is not their responsibility to look after reading at the university. The paper is organized in four moments: The first one justifies the training proposal;the second one characterizes it;the third one makes the emerging facts visible at the work with the two reading documents and, finally, some elements of the discussion are proposed. The transformation of the institutions ‑towards academic practices with reading‑ goes through the necessary education of teachers teams.
