FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF READING LITERACY OF STUDENTS IN GENERAL SECONDARY EDUCATION IN THE CONTEXT OF KEY SKILLS FOR THE PRESENT AND FUTURE

Abstract

The aim of the article is to explore the process of forming and developing reading literacy among students in general secondary education institutions in the context of key skills for the present and future. Reading literacy is considered as a multidimensional competence that includes not only the ability to decode text but also the ability to critically analyze, interpret, and evaluate information. The scientific novelty lies in the special emphasis on the connection between reading literacy and other key skills for the present and future, such as critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration. Methodology. Various research methods have been used: theoretical (comparison, analysis, synthesis, generalisation of scientific literature); critical assimilation of the experience of Ukrainian and foreign methodology (helps the teacher to generalise the methodological experience of the past and present, to conduct their own creative searches); method of purposeful observation; method of pedagogical experiment (used to check old methodological recommendations and create new ones, develop scientific criteria, analyse scientific, pedagogical and methodological phenomena); method of scientific foresight (hypothesis). Scientific novelty. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between reading literacy and other leading skills of the present and future, such as critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration. Conclusions. Based on the results of the international PISA study on this topic, as well as an analysis of effective methods and technologies for developing reading literacy, practical recommendations are given to optimize this process.
