Brazil occupies a vast territory with most of its large cities located either on the Atlantic coast or the banks of large watercourses. It falls in the category of one of the world's largest economies as it has strong sectors of agriculture, mining, industry, and services. Its major trading partners are Argentina, China, Germany and the United States. The official language is Portuguese whereas English is spoken as a widely accepted second language. Approximately, 75% of the population in Brazil is Roman Catholic whereas a considerable number of people are Protestants ("Brazil," 2009).

Reading strategies and their application
Introduction
Teaching young people to read isn't the easiest task in the world, but in order to prepare children for their future educational journeys – and for life as intelligent citizens – they need to learn to read. And they need to learn to read well because it opens doors, it inspires stories and takes the reader on journeys – not because schools require reading and it's something they "have to do." For students who do know how to read but are "stalled readers" and don't stay on a page of content for more than a few seconds, there are strategies for them as well.
