Abstract

The paper emphasises the importance of fairy tale, as the preferred literary genre in lower elementary grades, and its influence on children’s education and personality development. A fairy tale is a rich source of aesthetic perceptions and pleasant emotions, as well as a powerful motivator for developing positive personality traits. In order to examine the attitudes of lower elementary school students towards the reception of fairy tale as a literary genre, a survey was conducted. The sample included 360 third grade elementary school students. The results show that students are very fond of reading and exploring fairy tales, but they also face some problems in understanding and experiencing them, which stresses the importance of implementing different approaches in teaching.
