Abstract
This article examines the methodological and educational aspects of working with literary texts, with particular emphasis on the analysis of fairy tale genre texts. Fairy tales are characterized by imaginative elements, symbolic characters, and clear moral messages, which make them an effective tool for developing learners’ reading comprehension, critical thinking, and language skills. The study highlights the genre-specific features of fairy tales and outlines practical approaches to pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading activities. Special attention is given to the role of fairy tale analysis in fostering creativity, moral awareness, and cultural understanding. The findings suggest that systematic work with fairy tale texts enhances learners’ interpretative abilities and supports holistic literary and language education.
