The reasons for the decrease in their interest in reading are studied; the role of understanding and interpreting the text in improving the culture of reading is emphasized. Keywords: the entertainment industry, the problem of reading, human cultural experience, co-creation, understanding and interpretation of the text. In recent years, there have been significant changes in attitudes towards reading and its role in society. The entertainment industry, including video games, movies, TV series and social media, has become a powerful alternative to reading. The problem of reading among students and young people is one of the urgent problems of our time. Young people are gradually switching to clip perception of information. This means that short messages, hyperlinks, clicks replace thoughtful reading of works. The rejection of such traditional reading is dangerous because a person gradually stops thinking about what he has read, which leads to a decrease in the quality and level of reading. Reading a paper book not only develops a person's imagination, but also contributes to the brain's function of accumulating knowledge. According to A.V.Vorontsov, people who read differ from non-readers in that: 1) they are able to think in terms of problems, grasp the essence and identify contradictory interrelations of phenomena; assess the situation more adequately and find the right solutions faster; 2) have a great memory and an active creative imagination; 3) they have a better command of speech: it is more expressive, stricter in understanding and using the dictionary; 4)formulate and write more freely; 5) it is easier to establish contact with them and it is pleasant to communicate; 6) they need independence and inner freedom more, are more critical, independent in their judgments and behavior[4]. Here we are no longer talking about reading and education, but about intelligence, not about knowledge, but about types of thinking, which is especially relevant today. It was found that a person's cultural experience affects not only his language, but also the conceptual sphere [6]. The ability to read is defined by experts as a reading skill, in the process of mastering which a person goes through four stages: at the first stage, a person learns to translate letters into English and read them; at the second level, he learns to read aloud; at the third, to read to himself; at the fourth, to critically comprehend what he has read. To become a full-fledged, literate reader, it is necessary to master all four levels of reading skills[4]. 71 ILM-FAN VA INNOVATSIYA ILMIY-AMALIY KONFERENSIYASI in-academy.uz/index.php/si It was found that a full-fledged perception of a work of art does not exist without a certain reader's culture. Reading culture is an achievement of a personality, the level of reading development, quantitative and qualitative indicators of consciousness, activity and communication are both a product and a factor in personality development. The culture of reading includes: the rational organization of the reading process, depending on the text, the broad context of reading and the properties of the reader; deep, accurate, distinct and completeunderstandingand "assignment" of text content, accompanied by emotionalempathy, criticalanalysis and creativeinterpretation of the read; search, analysisandselection of text (books, electronicdocuments, databases, Internetsearchengines, etc.) for reading in accor dance with the reader's interests and capabilities, as well as the purpose of reading; choice of methods (oral, written) and linguistic means of saving what you read your nativeandforeignlanguages (statement, judgment, report, plan, theses, synopsis, abstract, abstract, etc.); The reader's reading culture is realized in the reader's actions as a manifestation of his empathy, co-thinking, co-creation with other people in society, taking into account the laws of nature and society as a whole. The culture of a qualified reader is "slow reading", which requires a variety of analytical and synthesizing work of the mind and at the same time the work of the senses, a serious emotional "connection". Such reading in the 20s of the XX century was called "feeling". The culture of reading involves intensive spiritual work, which, in fact, consists in creating meanings. Thus, the construction and expression of personal meanings inherent in the very nature of semantic reading is an important feature of the reader's culture. The culture of reading is not formed by itself, but develops in the process of educating a person. An important condition for the development of a reading culture is the inclusion of a personal component (needs, motives, values, meanings) in the structure of educational activities.
