The paper defines the relevance of spiritual and moral development of an individual in the modern world. The system of values includes personal ideals and life attitudes learned by a person through social activity, as a result of life experience, formation of mental functions and personal development in general. The paper considers the formation of moral values such as patriotism and citizenship through extracurricular activities in primary school. The process of patriotic education of younger schoolchildren is based on their personal and value attitude to the small and large motherland. The concept of “patriotic feelings” includes cognitive, emotional-sensual and activity components. The literature reading classes, as well as extracurricular activities in literature enriching universal human values offer great opportunities for the development of moral values. As means of formation, we have chosen the works of Siberian writers. The following types of works are included in the program of forming the values-based attitude to the small homeland in primary schoolchildren: familiarizing with life and creative work of a writer; using different types of reading; adapting for the stage; various types of retelling, answering questions; assessing acts and motives of behavior of literary heroes from the point of view of morality. The paper also describes the types of extracurricular activities such as literary evenings, “an hour of quiet reading”, question and answer evenings. The diagnostic study made it possible to conclude that the level of formation of cognitive, emotional and activity components of “patriotism” in primary school has increased..
