В статье рассматривается проблема формирования читательской и информационной культуры у младших школьников как ключевая педагогическая задача современного образования. На основе анализа научных трудов отечественных исследователей (Т.Г. Галактионовой, В.Н. Зборовской, Ю.П. Мелентьевой, Н.В. Пономаревой, С.А. Трубникова) раскрывается сущность читательской культуры как комплексного феномена, включающего культуру отбора, восприятия и осмысления текстов. Особое внимание уделяется трехуровневой модели культуры чтения (предкоммуникативная, коммуникативная, посткоммуникативная фазы) и ее трансформации в условиях цифровизации. Автор анализирует различные способы чтения (изучающее, поисковое, ознакомительное, выборочное) и их роль в развитии информационной грамотности учащихся. Подчеркивается необходимость формирования у детей осознанных читательских практик, критического мышления и навыков работы с мультимодальными текстами. Статья адресована педагогам, библиотекарям и исследователям в области педагогики и библиотековедения.

This study investigated the relationship between reading strategy use and comprehension performance among 4th-grade students (N=19). Using a correlational design, we analyzed students' scores on a standardized reading test (max=16) and their self-reported use of four strategy types: overt cognitive (e.g., note-taking), covert cognitive (e.g., predicting), evaluating (e.g., self-checking), and monitoring (e.g., time management). Results revealed significant positive correlations between test scores and both covert cognitive strategies (r=0.48, p<0.05) and evaluating strategies (r=0.52, p<0.05), while overt strategies showed no significant relationship. High performers (top 25%) demonstrated significantly greater use of covert and evaluating strategies compared to low performers (p<0.05). Notably, evaluating strategies emerged as the least utilized skill, suggesting a critical gap in students' metacognitive awareness. Gender differences in strategy use were non-significant. These findings highlight the importance of explicitly teaching higher-order comprehension strategies, particularly self-evaluation techniques, in elementary reading instruction. The study contributes to the growing literature on evidence-based strategy instruction by identifying specific strategic weaknesses that may hinder reading development.

This study investigates the enhancement of English reading skills among university students through the application of metacognitive strategies. Metacognition, or "thinking about thinking," involves awareness and control of one's cognitive processes during reading. The research highlights the significance of metacognitive strategies in improving reading comprehension, fostering independent learning, and promoting critical thinking. By integrating metacognitive instruction into reading curricula, educators can empower students to become more effective and autonomous readers. The findings suggest that explicit teaching of metacognitive strategies leads to significant improvements in students' reading performance.
