Both foreign and domestic researchers have found out that young people do not like to read, the main reason being lack of interest and lack of encouragement. On the other hand, students want to be active participants in the study of literature, they want to choose books for themselves, they would like to read contemporary juvenile books about teenage problems, they like to read shorter texts, they like to be entertained, and they think literature should have something interesting to say to them. How can the teacher take all this into account when planning lessons? One possibility is to include self-selected books in the literature lesson, as is envisaged by the Slovene curriculum for the matura examination within vocational education.
