The study highlights the genre-specific features of fairy tales and outlines practical approaches to pre-reading, while-reading, and post-reading activities. Special attention is given to the role of fairy tale analysis in fostering creativity, moral awareness, and cultural understanding. The findings suggest that systematic work with fairy tale texts enhances learners’ interpretative abilities and supports holistic literary and language education.
