This research is a systematic literature review and aimed to reflect on the relationship between scientific and visual literacy, exploring them from the reading of images. For the bibliographic survey, databases were used with the following descriptors: reading of images; scientific literacy; visual literacy and Paulo Freire. The results showed that there are few researches with the aforementioned descriptors which are presented only in Google Scholar. It was also identified that the themes of reading images and teacher training are present in the articles that composed the documentary corpus of this research, whose focus is centered on scientific and visual training, presenting its contributions to science teaching, based on reading and world interpretation.
