Abstract

V. Sukhomlynskyi is multifaceted creative heritage consists of 48 books, 500 scientific articles, more than 1500 fairy tales and short stories. The creative achievement of a humanist teacher is actively republished: only at the beginning of the XXI century, 65 works by V. Sukhomlynskyi were published with a total circulation of over 15 million copies. The works of the scientist have been translated into 59 languages. Important works of V. Sukhomlynskyi include "Spiritual world of a schoolboy", "One hundred tips for a teacher", "Work and moral education", "Parental pedagogy", "Letters to the son", "Book of love", "Pavlysh secondary school", "I give my heart to the children’’ (published in 1969, translated into 32 languages, contains 55 editions) and others. The problem of education of a comprehensively developed personality plays the leading role in the pedagogical heritage of V. Sukhomlinskyi. For the first time in the history of Soviet pedagogy, the scientist substantiated this idea in the form of his concept. This idea was successfully implemented by the teacher-innovator in the work of Pavlysh secondary school. Among the mental, moral, aesthetic, labor and physical education, the scientist singles out the moral sphere of the personality. V. Sukhomlynskyi actualizes the problem of education of moral feelings. In the creative heritage of the outstanding Ukrainian teacher, a great place is occupied by fairy tales and short stories devoted to the moral education of the person. There is a great need for an in-depth analysis of these works of art for children as a factor of learning and moral education of the person. Tales and stories of the director of Pavlysh school are timeless; they are dedicated to the eternal problem of mankind - the preservation of spirituality. V. Sukhomlynskyi brings the concept of "morality" to a high (spiritual) level of its understanding, and this gives grounds to claim that the scientist raises moral education of the child to the level of Christian morality, which is based on love to neighbor and good deeds. Works for children are organically interspersed in the thorough works of V. Sukhomlynskyi. For example, it may be seen in the book "I give my heart to children’ (1968, 1969), which has about 40 literary texts, to a slightly lesser extent - in the work "Birth of a citizen" (1970) and others.
The article highlights the educational conditions of training preparation of the future teachers for use of Vasyl Sukhomlynskyi’s works for children in extracurricular reading lessons.
