The article examines the content and constitutive features of reading culture in various aspects: library science, philology, pedagogy, cultural studies. The scope of the concepts of reading culture, reading competence and reading literacy is analyzed. The author presents her own understanding of reading culture as a synthesis of reading culture – where the basic element is reading itself as a universal cultural practice, as a tool for introducing people to the values of spiritual and social culture and reading literacy as the mastery of reading skills that facilitate the process of reading as a type of speech activity. In our view, reading culture is the possession of a set of knowledge, skills and abilities that make it possible to rationally organize the reading process, master and appropriate the content of what is read and effectively use it for education, self-education and self-improvement. In this case, the reader's culture becomes a basic component of the general culture of the individual. The content of reading culture, as well as its competence-based nature, allowed the author to identify four components in its structure: knowledge (reading and bibliographic knowledge), activity (meta-subject skills, the possession of which forms a competent reader), motivational and value (internal and external motives of reading as an activity, the attitude of younger schoolchildren to reading as a value), reflexive-evaluative (students' self-knowledge of internal mental acts and states). Each of these components is characterized by indicators corresponding to its characteristics. The identification of the components of reading culture, indicators of formation and their qualitative characteristics make it possible to determine the level of reading culture and outline ways and means of forming and developing its basic level in the educational process, corresponding to the psychophysiological capabilities of children, in this case, primary school age.
Key words: reading culture; general cultural development; younger schoolchildren
