This study presents a sequence of activities for deaf students in the 6th grade of Elementary School, focusing on the development of reading skills through work with the discursive genre of the fable, based on the narrative The Ant and the Dove. Grounded in the dialogic approach to language (Bakhtin, 2016 [1979]; Volóchinov, 2019 [1926]) and in the principles of Bilingual Education (Skliar, 1998; Quadros; Karnopp, 2004), the sequence was developed in accordance with the linguistic specificities of deaf students, considering Libras as their first language (L1) and written Portuguese as their second language (L2). The proposal is carried out through interactive activities, such as bilingual discussion circles to activate prior knowledge, dialogic reading of the fable in Libras and written Portuguese with the support of images, as well as the analysis of utterances and the verbal-visual meanings present in the text. The approach is qualitative, descriptive, and analytical-interpretative, with a focus on prospecting. The results show that working with the fable genre facilitates access to linguistic content and reading comprehension, while also promoting critical reflections on social values such as solidarity, empathy, and reciprocity. Students are expected to demonstrate greater engagement in activities that articulate visual and expressive resources specific to Libras with written text, considering that multisemiotization may enhance meaning-making. Thus, pedagogical practices grounded in dialogicity and in the appreciation of linguistic diversity are essential for the implementation of bilingual and inclusive education.
