It presents ideas for didactic procedures when working with elementary school pupils in classes of literary education and reading with artistic texts of children's literature. These levels in the PIRLS 2016 reading literacy scale were used to interpret a typical genre of children's literature - folk and author's fairy tales. The aim of the article is to describe the possibilities of how to work with the artistic text at individual levels of reading literacy and how to handle literary education and reading at elementary school with the information that the survey brings in specific didactic situations when interpreting appropriately chosen literary texts.
