It is defined that an effective means of forming the methodological skills of future teachers for teaching spelling to younger students is a methodological challenge. The author identifies the following kinds of teaching tasks: analysis of didactic material; selection of the correct option from a range offered; resolution of the pedagogical situations; development of a fragment of the lesson; making of methodological decisions. Examples of different types of teaching objectives are given.

The article de-scribes the theoretical prerequisites for the formation of conscious spelling skills using methodological problems, presents the operation logic from developing students ’ ability to find and classify orfogramms to performing exercises aimed at using rules in solving spelling problems.
