The general objective of this article was to analyze the contributions of the Baú da Leitura Project to encouraging reading practices among fourth-grade elementary school students and to the initial training of Pedagogy students, based on the extension experience developed in the school context. Regarding the methodological procedures, this is an experience report with a qualitative, descriptive, and reflective approach, based on participant observation, records produced during the activities, and analyses carried out throughout the pedagogical practice. The activities included collective reading sessions, storytelling, pedagogical activities, and educational games aimed at encouraging reading. The records indicated that the use of playful experiences showed potential to promote students' engagement in reading practices, increase their participation in the proposed activities, and contribute to strengthening oral communication, social interaction, and the interpretation of different texts. The notes, forms, and photographic records also made it possible to monitor and document students' participation and the practices developed throughout the project. The records suggest that reading mediation through meaningful activities contributes to the development of more active and critical readers. It is concluded that the experience provided by the Baú da Leitura Project promoted students' engagement with reading practices, as well as contributed to the training of future teachers by strengthening the integration between theoretical knowledge and educational practice.pt-BRAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 BrazilMediação da leituraFormação docenteEnsino fundamentalRelato de experiênciaartigo_cientificoCIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO
