Based on an analysis of more than sixty reports on own path reading students teachers of pre-school and primary education second during the courses 2011/12 and 2012/13, we have appreciated some relationships relevant between forms of mediation, canon reader and reading habits. Thus, we have observed some mediation styles that seem to lead with greater guarantees to reading success paths. We have classified our informants in three major groups, in accordance with Reader canon in which are installed: social canon readers and readers of academic canon, not readers. The better or worse quality mediation seems to be decisive in most of the cases. So much in the academic field as in the familiar, the mediation acquires, in our view, more efficiency when it translates into models of behaviour and not only in verbal recommendations, when it is accompanied by emotional complicity or when the substantive aspects of one's life. University teaching practices have to provide to the students rewarding experiences of reading. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
