The article focuses on analyzing alphabet encyclopedias as a unique genre of modern Ukrainian book publishing and their role in the educational process. The study's relevance is due to the growing interest in interactive and non-standard teaching methods that combine multi-vector approaches to the presentation of the material. The alphabet encyclopedias of the "From A to Z" series not only popularize the works of prominent Ukrainian writers but also serve as a powerful tool for broadening the worldview of readers, in particular students of secondary education institutions.
The purpose of the article is to analyze the structural and content features of the alphabet encyclopedias of the series "From A to Z" as an innovative genre of educational literature and to determine their potential for use in Ukrainian literature lessons.
The main research findings show that the author's alphabet-encyclopedias are clearly structured, where each letter of the alphabet acts as a key unit for telling a story about a certain aspect of the writer's life and work. The main thematic groups of lexemes presented in dictionary articles are identified, in particular biographical data, geographical names, literary terms, and philosophical and moral categories. It has been proven that these publications can be successfully used in the study of the Ukrainian language and literature at school, in particular for text analysis, the formation of speech skills, and the development of critical thinking and creative abilities of students. The results obtained contribute to a deeper understanding of the genre specificity of alphabet encyclopedias and reveal their educational potential.
