This graduation paper deals with modern methods and approaches to reading books in the classroom. Reading is considered to be one of the reason why students are increasingly moving away from the book, they dislike or do not read enough. This is most often because books are not adapted to the interests of students and they do not have the freedom to choose reading titles. In addition, reading is repulsive to students due the way it is processed by established methodological approaches and methods. For the purpose of writing the graduation paper, a research was conducted in the second and fourth grade of primary school. The aim of the research was to check students’ opinions about modern and creative methods in teaching reading, how they think an interesting reading lesson should look like and how they normally process reading in class. Informations were collected using a questionnaire that students completed after listening to classes using modern and creative methods in teaching reading. The results of the research showed that students like and strive for a more interesting approach to teaching reading. Research has shown that modern studentcentered methods can be successfully applied in the classroom.
