This paper discusses the preparation of reading questions in teaching practice in a Support Classroom for Portuguese Language Learning (SAAPL, in Portuguese) - 6th grade of a regular public school in the South-Central region of the state of Parana. Based upon the concepts discussed within the Bakhtin Circle and contributions from Applied Linguistics, the present work aimed to guide and follow up on one teacher's practice in a SAAPL classroom in his task of preparing after-reading questions. Data collection was performed before and after some theoretical and methodological interventions with the teacher, carried out in a collaborative manner, providing theoretical support and guided discussions on the concepts and stages of the reading process and their implications for the Portuguese language teaching and learning processes. The results indicate the need to provide the SAAPL teacher with theoretical and methodological support in relation to the reading process, as well to supervise and guide his/her practice during the preparation of reading questions in this particular context.
