There is great public interest in the problems of teaching reading to elementary school students. Already at this educational stage, reading becomes a meta-subject competence, which is in demand in elementary school in classes in other disciplines. New educational areas are constantly emerging, where certain reading competencies are in demand, for example, in connection with inclusion, highly specialized educational areas arise: teaching to read children with disabilities, teaching to read children who have peculiarities in mastering written speech skills, and others.
