This article examines the pedagogical necessity of instilling national spirit in primary school students through reading lessons. It explores how culturally and morally rich texts, when thoughtfully selected and effectively mediated by teachers, can nurture a strong sense of national identity, belonging, and ethical awareness in young learners. The article outlines methodological strategies such as value clarification, role-play, and interdisciplinary integration, and emphasizes the role of the teacher as a cultural guide. Recommendations are offered to address challenges and enhance the transformative role of reading in character and citizenship formation.
