Summary/Abstract: The article is a voice in the discussion on the changes entailed by the new reform of the Polish education system (introduced as of the 2017/2018 school year). An important part of it is the process of the cultural and literary education of 4–8th graders described in the core curriculum, who are described as representatives of the generation of “screen readers”. The assumed perspective enabled the author to present the possible directions of educational activities in the face of the developmental and socio-cultural needs of pupils growing up under the major impact of modern media and technology. The proposed solutions offer examples and encouragement for interpretative, reflective and creative reading and implementation of the binding core curriculum.
