DEVELOPING A SYSTEM OF READING COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS FOR LITERARY TEXTS FOR 3RD GRADE STUDENTS IN VIETNAM

For elementary school students, learning to read fluently and deeply understand literary texts not only helps them acquire knowledge effectively but also develops their ability to think independently, appreciate literature, and evaluate cultural and aesthetic values. Reading comprehension, especially of literary texts, requires students not only to recognize linguistic elements but also to analyze content, characters, contexts, and messages within the work. Developing this skill is not a simple process; it requires guidance and support from teachers, particularly through appropriate teaching methods. One of the most important and effective methods to enhance students' reading comprehension skills is the construction of a system of instructional questions. With this in mind, the paper "Developing a System of Reading Comprehension Questions for Literary Texts for 3rd Grade Students in Vietnam" aims to explore and propose measures to build an effective and suitable system of instructional questions. These measures will help improve students' reading comprehension abilities while fostering their analytical, critical thinking, and literary appreciation skills. Ultimately, this contributes significantly to shaping students' personalities and holistic development in their early years, preparing them for higher levels of education with a solid intellectual, ethical, and aesthetic foundation.
