Abstract

The article explores the issues related to the development of listening and speaking skills in the "Literary Reading" subject in primary school. Through surveys and task-based activities, the study identifies ways to enhance students' listening and speaking abilities. Key problems were identified based on a three-stage observation process conducted within the "Literary Reading" lessons. Using the methods "Name the Words" and "Describe the Picture," the study clarifies the difficulties students face in developing these skills. The authors examine ways to overcome these difficulties by applying targeted tasks, teaching, and speaking methods. To achieve this goal, the research was organized through experimental, formative, and observational stages. The article also analyzes theoretical and practical studies, as well as methods aimed at fostering literary reading, drawing on approaches used by international scholars in educational practice. The effectiveness of techniques focused on the development of listening and speaking skills is demonstrated. During the study, M.P. Voyushina suggests assessing students’ text comprehension, speech development, and learning motivation to determine their level of listening skills. Additionally, a semi-projective method based on incomplete sentences, developed by M.P. Voyushina, was applied. This article is expected to be a useful resource for primary school teachers.
