INTRОDUСTIОN

plays an important role in the mental and spiritual development of the young generation.

and teaching national values and cultural heritage. This article provides comprehensive

and its place in the educational process.
MАTЕRIАLS АND MЕTHОDS
Professor O. Safarov wrote about the science that consistently reflects the history
of children's literature and the importance of paying attention to the level of study in its
specialization: – Trainers who do not know the basics of children's literature or do not
have a deep understanding of the basics of children's literature are unable to instill pride
of independence and love for the Motherland into the hearts of the younger generation.
cannot be able to take care of feelings of inferiority. In pre-school education institutions,
in primary classes, and even in the 5th-7th grades of high school, the content of literature
lessons is mainly composed of examples of children's literature.
The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Sh.M. Mirziyoyev's decision of
September 13, 2017 "On the program of comprehensive measures to develop the system
of publication and distribution of book products, increase and promote book reading and
reading culture" also raised the reading skills of young people to a high level to raise, first
of all, it is necessary to form the skill of reading from childhood, that is, to train their
future teachers in universities, in the process of acquiring professional professions, it is
clear that it is important to pay attention to the correct development of the essence of an
artistic work, to be able to perceive literary genres. Also, it is worth noting that, as stated
in various speeches and lectures of the President, important tasks have been defined in
the field of culture to fight against ignorance with enlightenment, to teach our youth to
understand real art, and to form their aesthetic world on a healthy basis.
RЕSULTS АND DISСUSSIОN
As long as the students do not study literary subjects in depth in all educational
systems, it is necessary to prepare the hearts of future generations with human qualities
from childhood. Moreover, as human thinking does not stop in one place, general
literature, including children's literature, always requires new interpretations.
The works intended for children's reading have continued since ancient times in
the history of all nations.

In the development of Uzbek children's literature, first of all, social reality, then
folk oral creativity, didactic literature, and classical children's reading are considered
important phenomena. In Uzbek literature, under the revolutions of enlightenment,
national renaissance, and modernist literature, its unique special direction, children's
literature, which first appeared on the scene, was first a phenomenon, a revolution, and
then developed as an independent science, forming a whole system.
Although the set of artistic, scientific, scientific-popular, and journalistic works
created for children and teenagers constitutes children's literature in the literal sense, it
has become a tradition that mostly purely artistic works represent the essence of this
concept. The concept of children's literature is, first of all, the art of words intended for
children and adolescents of different ages. It embodies the examples of artistic works that
emdiv reality in the perception, imagination, and thought images of children up to
sixteen-seventeen years of age.
"Children's literature," N. Fozilov wrote, "is delicate literature." Children's
literature is the beginning of adult literature as we know it... Children's writers are the
starting point for great literature with their works. This literature is respectful ... The
heart of a child is like that. It cannot be broken. He always needs attention. Only then will
his heart grow full. He is affectionate. Only then will it become the fruit of your love and
follow your footsteps [2].
Features of children's reading in preschool education
age. It is clearly
explained by the following artistic evaluation of L. N. Tolstoy: "After all, didn't I discover
then what I live in now?" – he recalled while summing up his seventy years of life. – Did I
manage to discover even one-hundredth of the things I discovered so much and so
quickly during the rest of my life? Absolutely! From a five-year-old child to me – just one
step, from a newborn baby to a five-year-old child – a terrible distance!’.
Children's reading at primary school age
also has its differences. Because the
inner world of children of this age is extremely rich. Although they do not know much
yet, they experience the process of spiritual need to know. "It is very difficult to tell
children what they feel and think because they have to express them in words," wrote
Henryka Goldschmidt, a Polish writer known to the whole world under the pseudonym
Janusz Korczak. – Writing is even more difficult. but children are poets and philosophers.’
It is understood that the writer learned many secrets of the world of childhood
through his pedagogical experience, knowledge as a pediatrician, and unique writing
talent; in particular, he emphasizes that the freedom of a child's heart is compared to a
bird, a butterfly, and 13 flowers and that they treat animals, insects, and animals as
brothers or equal friends. "Poetry" in children's nature is their wonder at everything,
they are excited by every event, while "philosophy" is their interest in the true essence of
these things and events that cause surprise and excitement. ‘What is it?’, ‘Why is it like
that?’, ‘What does it say?’, ‘Why is it big or why is it small?’, ‘How does it grow?’, ‘Why is it
hard?’, ‘Why is it soft?’, ‘Why does water harden?’, ‘How does the sun heat up?’, in short,
these countless questions are the result of the interests of children of this age, and the
answers they find and find to these questions are the ways of mastering the world. As the
world becomes an enigma for them, it is natural for them to become "whatever" as well.
In this sense, Pochemuchka (or Nimavoy – translated as Bilmasvoy in Uzbek) created by
the Russian children's writer N. Nosov – has risen to the level of a generalized image of
children of this age [4].

Such a generalized image can also be seen in the image of a lyrical hero belonging
to Q. Muhammadi's "Alphabet of Nature" series. He also asked with his whole div, "Why
do we call walnuts walnuts?", or "Why are walnuts hard?" ‘Why is the branch of the tree
crooked?’, ‘Why is the leaf of the peach bitter?’, ‘Why does Sada not bear fruit?’, 'Dad, why
does the gardener cut the vine?’, or, ‘The vine The tree is the same, why are the grapes
different? ‘Why does the cattle rummage?’, ‘Why is the chittak the chittak?"
Q. Muhammadi, to give a poetic answer to these questions, no matter what he writes
about or talks about, he always looks for the meaning of human life from that thing. The
poet finds this meaning. This meaning always explains children's first impressions of life
and serves to form their worldview.
‘Childhood is compared to the ocean and spring. Why? What is the beauty and
similarity between them? "Nature never ceases to act," wrote Goethe [6].
Nature constantly creates new forms. Things that exist now have never existed
before; what has happened will never come back; everything is new and at the same time
old." So, to speak, this characteristic of nature is more evident in childhood. In this sense,
N.G. Chernyshevsky wrote in his artistic works for children, "Wow... What horror?"
He believed that "Hey, it's so funny!", "Bye-bye, it's so good!" can't excite young
readers if they don't have signs that stimulate their mood. Looking at it from this point of
view, in the history of Uzbek children's literature, works rich in lyrical enthusiasm and
cheerful humor are more interesting in the young generation.
After all, Gafur Ghulam's "Shum Bola", Kh. Tokhtabayev's "Riding the Yellow
Giant", "Death of the Yellow Giant", "Battle of Wizards, or Sweet Melon Country",
A. Obidjon's "Terrible Meshpolvan" and this is the Secret of reading such works as
"Meshpolvan's Battles" with great pleasure.
"It is not good to read everything," wrote L.N. Tolstoy, "one should read only those
works that can answer the questions that arise in the heart." In this case, the ability to perceive
a work of art is the most important phenomenon. Reading a work of art, especially reading, is
exciting. A reader writes Methodist scientist S. Matchon, is a creator like a writer. He follows
the path of repeating the author's work in the process of reading the work.
It is no coincidence that the true essence of Uzbek children's literature is reflected
in the work of enlightened pedagogues and writers of the early 20th century. Saidrasul
Azizi, Munavvarqori Abdurashidkhanov, Abdulla Avloni, Hamza Hakimzada Niyozi,
Mahmudhoja Behbudi, Sadriddin Ainiy, Abdurauf Fitrat, Elbek and dozens of other
intellectuals created more than fifty alphabets and first of all, reading books started the
tradition of creating children's special works remarkable. After all, for the schools of the
new method opened with the aim of enlightening the children of the people, they wrote
"Kitabat ut-atfol" (Behbudi), "First teacher", "Second teacher", "Turkish culture or
morals", "School culture" (Awlani) ‘Light literature’, ‘Reading book’, ‘Reading book’,
(Hamza), ‘Tahsib It is noteworthy that textbooks such as us-sibyon (Child Education), Girl
Child or Khalida (S.Ayniy), and Reading (Fitrat) pay special attention to the age
characteristics of children in the artistic expression of life reality. In this respect,
R. Barakayev's research is distinguished by its wealth of important evidence.
In addition, the development of the Uzbek children's press and the phenomenon of
their special influence on the young generation is also a leading factor in the process.
Many acknowledgments emphasize that Uzbek children's literature was born on the
pages of the press in the 1920s and that they were able to have an effective effect on the
revival of education.

In the current literary process, paying attention to artistically high examples of
children's literature, through the analysis of works that reflect the interests of children of
the new century, the mental and spiritual world, and their attitude to social life, moral-
educational, and socio-political in students. importance is attached to the formation of
education. In particular, at the beginning of our century, monographic studies, pamphlets,
and literary-critical articles on children's literature appeared. The history and problems
of Uzbek children's literature were studied in the articles and pamphlets of literary
scholars and researchers from a scientific-theoretical aspect, and the need to pay
attention to the analysis of artistically high works was shown. It is inextricably linked
with the child. gives an effective result and the intended goal is achieved.
