Summary/Abstract: In the article we focus on indicating the starting points for teaching stylistics (style) in primary and secondary schools in the context of the currently valid curriculum; however, we also approach them with regard to the announced changes in the upcoming curriculum reform. We rely on language teaching which is based on the communicative-cognitive principle – while the linguistic and stylistic components of the subject Slovak language (and literature) form an integral part of language teaching (they are not mutually exclusive). In everyday communication, often we do not realize that we use a wide range of texts when dealing with various life situations. In our consciousness, there is a set of ideas about text models which are formed by our own experience and school language and communication education. In ordinary life, a person learns about text forms through reception and production of texts unintentionally. In school students acquire systematized knowledge about the variability of text types through various text tasks of the reception and production type. Stylistic theory in its appropriate modifications has its place in the teaching of communication and style education, because the acquired stylistic knowledge has a positive impact on students' expression and affects their performance in a desired way.
