Abstract
The article examines the influence of digital sources (texts) on the development of reading literacy among students. By reading literacy, the authors of this study consider the reader's ability to understand, evaluate and reflect on text, as well as use text ideas in everyday life. The purpose of this work is to determine the impact of reading digital texts on the level of reading literacy of Kazakhstani youth. To achieve this goal, the study was conducted on what texts students read from the university website and other Internet sources, and how this reading affects their reading literacy. In the process of studying the issue, observations were made of the peculiarities of students’ work with digital text, and a sociological survey was conducted among students of the L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University (Kazakhstan, Astana), as well as subsequent analysis of the data obtained. The choice of the target audience was determined by the relevance of the study - in their professional are, university teachers are often faced with a low level of reading literacy among students, which creates the need to work to improve their reading literacy.
