DEVELOPING READING SKILLS OF PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS BASED ON THE WORKS OF PO‘LAT MO‘MIN
Abstract
This study examines the development of reading skills in primary school students through the use of literary works by Po‘lat Mo‘min. The research focuses on the pedagogical potential of his texts in enhancing key components of reading competence, including fluency, comprehension, vocabulary acquisition, and expressive reading. Based on theoretical analysis and practical teaching approaches, the study highlights the effectiveness of integrating age-appropriate literary materials into the learning process. Special attention is given to interactive and student-centered methods such as repeated reading, discussion, dramatization, and the use of digital tools. The findings indicate that Po‘lat Mo‘min’s works, due to their linguistic simplicity and moral content, significantly contribute to students’ cognitive, emotional, and social development. The study concludes that the systematic use of national literary heritage in primary education improves reading outcomes and fosters a positive attitude toward reading.References
