The capacity to work with text is becoming increasingly vital in the modern world. Text skills are now seen as ubiquitous, influential, and intellectual. This article analyzes the educational standards and curricula used in Bulgarian and Russian schools at the elementary general education level as they relate to the formation of textual skills for students in primary school. Additionally, the paper presents the results of a study that looked at the development of text skills among younger students from Bulgaria and Russia. The authors employed a variety of methods, including theoretical analysis, experiment design, and qualitative and quantitative analysis of the experiment outcomes. One-hundred and two Bulgarian and Russian primary school children participated in the study. The research findings may be of interest to scientists and practitioners in the field of teaching native languages and literature.
