Abstract

This article deals with reading literacy and its development in complex learning tasks with science theme. We have created complex chemical tasks and we used these tasks in the chemistry lessons. Tasks were solved by students of a primary school and we tried to describe possible reasons of wrong answers regarding the competencies of reading literacy. Three groups of competencies were studied: information gathering, information processing and evaluation of the text.
