During the first centuries of their existence, the pagan Slavs did not know writing. True, there is evidence that they tried to create it and even used "features and cuts", that is, some kind of badges. But the fact remains: Slavic writing was created and began to spread only after the adoption of Christianity.

Why Slavic writing arose (conversation)
- What do you think, what connection existed between the emergence of writing among the Slavs and their adoption of Christianity?

How were books made in Russia before the middle of the 16th century? (Printing appeared in our country in 1564. Ivan Fedorov was the first printer.)
- How do you understand the expression "read the book from blackboard to blackboard"?
- What did the old books look like?
- Could a poor person in Russia afford to buy a book? Why?

On September 8, 2019, many countries around the world, including ours, celebrate International Literacy Day. This holiday was established in 1966 by UNESCO.

The program of events includes meetings with writers, journalists and publishers, conferences, round tables, lectures in libraries and educational institutions, performances by creative teams. We offer you one of options school event dedicated to this holiday.

Scenario of the event for the International School Literacy Day

The holiday can be started with the performance of the hosts:
- Dear Guys! Today we celebrate International Literacy Day. Unfortunately, the problem of its distribution remains unresolved in many countries. About 860 million adults worldwide cannot read or write.

– For many years, the population of our country remained mostly illiterate: in late XIX century it was 80% of Russians. In the first years of Soviet power, a decree of the Council of People's Commissars "On the Elimination of Illiteracy in the RSFSR" was adopted. According to this document, the entire population of the country aged 8 to 50 years old, who could not read or write, was obliged to learn to read and write in their native language or in Russian (optional).

- The decree provided for the creation of "schools for overage", schools at orphanages, colonies and other institutions. In the autumn of 1923, the All-Russian Voluntary Society "Down with Illiteracy" was created. As a result, by the end of the 1930s, about 90% of Russians aged 16 to 50 were literate.

– It would seem that this problem in our country has been solved once and for all. However, since the 1990s, a decrease in the literacy of the population has begun in Russia. This is evidenced by various studies.

“According to the results of one of them, conducted by the International Reading Institute, the students of our country took only 32nd place out of students from 40 countries. Recently, in our newspapers and magazines, illiterate announcements are increasingly common, in ordinary speech - ear-cutting tongue-tied tongue.

– I love my mother tongue!
It is clear to everyone
He is melodious
He, like the Russian people, is many-sided,
As our power, mighty.
He is the language of the moon and planets,
Our satellites and rockets.
At the round table
Speak it:
unambiguous and direct,
It is like the truth itself.
(A. Yashin.)

- Our beautiful language -
Rich and resonant
That powerful and passionate
It's softly melodious.
It also has a smile.
Both softness and kindness.
Written by him
And stories, and fairy tales -
magical pages,
Exciting books!
Love and keep
Our great language!

Then, according to the scenario of the Literacy Day at the school, quotes from the classics about the native language will be heard:

- Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin said: "The Russian language is an expressive and sonorous language, flexible and powerful in its turns and means." It is characterized by "stately smoothness, brightness, simplicity and precision."

Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol wrote: “You marvel at the preciousness of our language: every sound is a gift: everything is grainy, large, like pearls themselves, and, really, there is another name even more precious than the thing itself.”

- Leo Tolstoy believed: "The Russian language is real, strong, where necessary - strict, serious, where necessary - passionate, where necessary - lively and lively."

- Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev dedicated a prose poem to the Russian language: “In the days of doubt, in the days of painful reflections about the fate of my homeland, you are my only support and support, oh great, powerful, truthful and free Russian language! .. If you weren’t, how do not fall into despair at the sight of everything that is done at home. But one cannot believe that such a language was not given to a great people!

After that, the leaders will again take the floor:
Is it important to be literate? Remember the cartoon about Vovka in Far Far Away, when one comma (in the sentence “You can’t be pardoned”) could decide the fate of a person.

Imagine that you are an employee of the personnel department of a large enterprise. You have received a letter from a job seeker who wants to apply for a job. You read the text - and there are solid errors, typos, small letters instead of large ones, a lot of extra commas ... Will you hire such an employee? Most probably not.

– While gadgets can help correct mistakes, they won’t help you find the right word to express your thoughts, nor will they correct a word from one style for a word from another.

Our whole life is connected with language. Without knowledge of the language, it is impossible to engage in science, master technology, get a job. Good work. Therefore, guys, learn your native Russian language!

Then the presenters will give funny mistakes from the essays, which the guys will be asked to correct.
The scenario of a school event for Literacy Day may include other tasks in the Russian language, for example, as follows.

In each of the rows, eliminate the word that does not match the rest in meaning:

  • briefcase, pencil, pen, felt-tip pen, chalk;
  • forest, wolf, bear, cow, hare;
  • road, street, highway, sidewalk, floor;
  • cat, letter, towel, plum, fast;
  • table, room, garden bench, chair, bookcase.

- From each word, take only the first syllables and make a new word:

  • car, brake (author);
  • ear, company, vase (ko-ro-va);
  • milk, spawning, cockroach (mo-not-ta);
  • bark, loto, boxer (ko-lo-bok);
  • ram, wound, attendant (ba-ra-ban).

- Explain what phraseological units mean:

  • skin and bones (thin);
  • even blood from the nose (mandatory);
  • at hand (close);
  • leaky memory (forgetful);
  • under full sail (fast);
  • wash the bones (discuss);
  • like a fish in water (sure).

One misspelled letter can change the meaning of what is said. Write the words correctly:

  • There are no roads in the swamp. I'm hopping and hopping for cats.
  • The sea shines before us. T-shirts fly over the waves.
  • The bug did not finish the booth: reluctance, tired.
  • My uncle was driving without a vest, he paid a fine for it.
  • We collect cornflowers, we have puppies on our heads.
  • Painters paint a rat in front of the children's eyes.

And at the end of the event on International Literacy Day at school, children will read poems:

- Many languages ​​​​in the world of different -
I couldn't learn them all
They are all beautiful in their own way.
Each has its own zest.

They speak French in Paris
Berlin speaks German;
My dear, familiar, Russian, is dear to me,
For me, he is the only one.

Melodic, flexible and melodious,
He has fascinated me since childhood.
And not in vain the great and mighty
Turgenev named our language.

Developing rapidly, dynamically,
Absorbing different words
The new one was great
But the wisdom of the ancestors is alive in him.

Yes, and only our, Russian speech
You can sing free Russia!
Our Russian language will live forever
And I can not, I believe, die!
(M. Kryukov)

Thank you for your attention!

Most recently, the first school bell rang, left behind, and the students different ages sat down at their desks to start or continue the hard journey to the land of Knowledge. And already on September 8, the whole world will celebrate another date related to education - International Literacy Day.

History and traditions

The holiday owes its origin to the ministers of education of various countries (Russia, America, France, etc.), who half a century ago - in 1965 - gathered in Tehran for the World Conference to discuss the problem of illiteracy of the planet's population. By that time, the situation was deplorable: 44% of adults alone around the world remained illiterate. On September 19, the members of the conference that ended, prepared over 80 recommendations, among which was the establishment of a literacy day. And a year later, for the first time, International Literacy Day was celebrated on September 8th.

Gradually, the celebration of this day has its own traditions. At the world level, in addition to the annual conferences held at the headquarters of UNESCO, the prizes in the amount of 20 thousand dollars named after King Sejong and Confucius for the promotion of literacy are awarded.

And of course, various educational centers, exhibitions, film screenings are opening in different parts of the world. Master classes, open lessons, competitions, etc. are held.

In Russia, Literacy Day is just gaining popularity. For example, since 2011 there has been an action that has already become international, "Total Dictation". In schools, universities and other educational institutions Literacy Day has also become one of the main ones. Quizzes, olympiads, KVN in various subjects are arranged for students, because literacy is not only the ability to write, count and read correctly. This is a whole set of knowledge and skills in various scientific fields that help a person be successful.

Classroom event

Most often, educational institutions choose such a form of event for the International Literacy Day as a classroom hour. True, even more often it comes down to a short monologue of the teacher about the need to learn. But in order for students (especially after 12-13 years old) to really have a desire to become a literate person, more interesting motivation is needed than just a “lecture”.


Literacy, functional, makes a person interesting, successful. People will be drawn to such a person. And now you have a choice: make every effort to reach this height or remain the one whose words will be laughed at. And remember that the main thing on the way to the light is self-development and self-education.

Event outside of school

Compose for celebration international day literacy scenario is possible and independently: not all the same to lay on the shoulders of schools! Yes, and many have not studied anywhere for a long time, but they want to celebrate September 8th. In addition to a brief historical background, include in the script interesting contests and games - a holiday after all!


You can add to the script and various games on a literary theme, writing complex dictations or watching a suitable movie (for example, the short film “Love yourself with negative emotions”).

The holiday will be not only fun, but also useful: someone will remember the rules of the Russian language or the dates of history, and someone will understand that being literate is really great, and will begin their difficult path to knowledge!
