Historically, illiteracy has been a reality for Brazilians. This paper describes an adult literacy program currently in practice in Northeastern Brazil from a critical theory framework. The program described is based on Freireʼs circles of culture and its conception is that literacy is a process for social inclusion. Along with the description provided by the author, resulting from participant observation and review of literature, this paper includes the perspective of a student currently in the program. Further, from a critical standpoint, the author acknowledges many positive things already implemented and challenges for the future of this promising literacy program.

This paper describes the way in which a program in Adult Literacy has been successful in developing individualized educational programs. The fundamental criterion for this is the identification of the individual needs for each learner, and the development of a teaching-learning program that enables the learner to become self-directing and active in the attainment of literacy skills.
