The relevance of the article is due to the problem of updating literary education in the digital world. The process of the classical methodology reconstruction is due to the rapidly changing reality, which also forces the student’s consciousness to be restructured (the development of media education, etc.). The student, as practice shows, has ceased to be actively involved in the educational process built on the classical method. The student's attention is seeking for elements of a new reality in school. It is precisely the changes in lessons involving into the educational process the achievements of the new era, reconstructing the usual methods and techniques that can help a literature teacher to interest a student in classes. The purpose of the study is to identify the signals that a modern literature teacher should pay attention to in order to captivate students of the 21st century in the lesson and not allow them to immerse themselves in gadgets, while forgetting about educational tasks. Leading approaches to the problem research: systemic, interdisciplinary, comprehensive. Based on an analysis of scientific literature, forums of teachers and parents, federal documents, surveys and other sources, the author shows the need to find an answer to the question "How not to" lose "a student?", identify problems that concern the subjects of the educational process, and the ways of their solution. To achieve the goal of the article, we used theoretical (analysis of publications on research problems) and empirical methods (written questionnaire and oral survey). The works of domestic and foreign authors on the problems of digitalization of education, imagination, perception of the school-reader, teaching literature in the context of modern media space, etc. serve as the methodological basis for our study. A number of conclusions have been formulated, which make it possible to determine how it is necessary to modernize literature lessons in the 21st century so that students of the new generation do not lose their motivation for learning, become interested in the educational process. The proposed solutions for updating the educational process, which present vectors for the development of modern literary education, can be used by scientists for complex study of identified problems and search for new ways to solve them, as well as by school teachers and teachers of pedagogical universities to correct work with students in the context of the digital era.
