Teenagers And Young Adults Socialisation By Means Of Studying Modern Literary Fiction

The reading culture of the society is a sum total of the reading habits of each individual. This article examines the problems of the reading culture of secondary school students in the context of their spiritual and cultural development, as well as their initial socialization. One of the critical challenges implied by those problems is the task of specifying the criteria for assessing the content of modern fiction for children, teenagers and youth. The teaching instructions methods do not refer to to the problems pertaining to the special features of studying modern children’s, teenager and young adult literature in secondary school and the possibility of including such works into the literature curriculum and independent reading lists. The research carried out shows the lack of development of axiological foundations for it. The authors suggest various sets for selection criteria of the literary works and the opinion of the researchers from different fields of science upon the creating of the reading lists.
