It is important to know the reading conceptions which support its practice. To do so, Brazilian and Mozambique national reading plans were analysed in order to identify the reading conceptions that underlie them, and the possible convergence and divergence points between them. The study resorted to a documentary analysis of the official booklets presenting these policies. This analysis allowed to understand that none of the plans mentioned in depth the reading conceptualizations, although the Brazilian plan explicitly announces a vision of reading as being a social practice and the Mozambican plan oscillates between different perceptions of the reading act. In addition, the first one privileged access to books as a cultural asset, while the second one directs special attention to the reading promotion in the school sphere. Despite such dissonances, on both plans the reading competence is identified as a condition and/or an instrument for the citizenship exercise and for the cultural diversity affirmation.
