Abstract

Literary literacy has become one of the most widely discussed interdisciplinary categories in contemporary educational research, serving as a foundation for intellectual, moral, and cultural development. Traditionally understood as reading and comprehension, literary literacy is now viewed as a complex activity involving meaning-making, aesthetic perception, critical reflection, and social engagement. Scholars such as Dewey, Rosenblatt, Vygotsky, and Freire, along with Uzbek researchers including Tokhliev, Tillabaeva, and Rakhmonov, have contributed valuable perspectives, but these often remain limited to single disciplinary frames. Knowledge Gap: Despite the growing importance of literary literacy, there is insufficient integration of pedagogical, psycholinguistic, cognitive, and neuro-pedagogical approaches into a unified framework that identifies its structural components. Aims: This study aims to conduct a theoretical analysis of literary literacy, clarify its essential features, and define its multidimensional structure as an educational competence. Results: The research demonstrates that literary literacy encompasses interrelated components such as linguistic and speech ability, literary analysis, aesthetic perception, personal interpretation, and critical thinking. These components function in harmony, enabling learners to comprehend texts, analyze artistic and ideological content, create personal meaning, and develop empathy and social responsibility. Novelty: The study proposes an integrated model that interprets literary literacy as both a cognitive and moral activity shaped by intellectual development, emotional perception, and cultural heritage. Implications: By systematizing literary literacy as a universal competence, the research establishes a theoretical foundation for pedagogical practice, highlighting its role in fostering independent thought, critical awareness, creativity, and the moral maturity necessary for socially responsible citizenship.
