Abstract
Reading is a way of translating and mastering socio-cultural information embodied in a certain cultural text. The authors note that the purpose of reading is to obtain and process written information. At the beginning of the third Millennium, more and more people are talking about the third revolution in reading, associated with the digitization of text and the arrival of hypertext. Primary school is a special stage in a child's life. It is associated with the formation of the basics of the student's ability to learn and the ability to organize their activities. It is reading skills that will provide a younger student with the opportunity to independently acquire new knowledge, and in the future will create a basis for self-education. Therefore, the authors focus on the "Vocabulary" Block, which contains 16 tasks aimed at evaluating the vocabulary of a (mostly passive) child. Clearly shown in tabular form are the following data: Vocabulary, knowledge of letters, Mechanical reading of text, reading and understanding of text.
