The article is devoted to the formation of reading culture among junior schoolchildren as a current problem of today. Reading is one of the most popular activities. In the modern society reading skills are an integral part of the formation and development of a person, his or her learning and professional career. Reading is a complex phenomenon. It is a principle factor that ensures obtaining of general education, the main means of acquiring knowledge in higher education institutions. Reading plays an extremely important role for a competent personality development. It is not only a social phenomenon (helping to develop an individual as a personality, contributing to the formation of emotional culture, intelligence, logical and creative thinking), but also a pedagogical phenomenon, which is an important factor in the education of spirituality, aesthetic feelings, creators, rhetorical skills, and other personal qualities. It is known that the more a person reads, the greater general cultural experience and the higher level of intellectual development they have, the more expressive their speech becomes.The degree of involvement of boys and girls into reading shows the level of humanization of the entire society, that is why our research is focused on junior schoolchildren, as these people will soon be teaching and educating younger students as active readers. It is they who can lead early and sustained interest in reading to students, a kind of navigator in the overall flow of reading products for both children and their parents.In the primary school, the range of reading interests of the youth narrows; great spiritual potential of fiction remains out of the sight for most children. Such indicators make one think about the problems of forming the reading culture of juniors and the means of solving them. Therefore, it is necessary to raise the level of education, in particular literary, since it is the young educated people with critical thinking, forming the demand for a book, can dictate the mode of reading. At the state level, it is necessary to begin with the creation of a literary map of his area, to begin studying the literary process of each region in the state and every ethnos that populate Ukraine, to start work on investigating the historical and cultural heritage, the creative achievements of local writers in different historical periods.
