Abstract

This article analyzes the content of the taxonomy of educational goals developed by
the American psychologist and educator Binyamin Blum, its stages in the cognitive sphere and its role in
the formation of Reading Literacy in elementary grades. On the basis of such steps of taxonomy as
“knowledge”, “understanding”, “application”, “analysis”, “synthesis” and “evaluation”,
methodological approaches to planning and content enrichment of the course process are highlighted. The
article also describes Blum taxonomy as an effective tool in the gradual development of reader thinking,
the formation of critical and creative thinking skills.
