This article is part of a master's dissertation that investigated the reading comprehension and the inferential process of elderly students from a youth and adults class. Only data from one of the participants will be considered, which were constructed through semi-structured interviews and reading sessions. The interviews aimed to identify the participant's life and reading stories. The reading sessions consisted of answering inferential questions about two texts - a cordel and a poem - divided into parts previously established by the researcher. The results showed that: the participant's reading comprehension and inferential processes were based mainly on the textual material; there was a connection between the participant's life and reading histories and his comprehension of the texts, and, moreover, it was demonstrated that there was a greater difficulty for the participant in reading the poetic genre than in reading the cordel genre.

Palabras clave : reading comprehension; inference; textual genre; elderly; EJA.
