The article analyzes the issue of supporting creativity in “Mother Tongue and Reading Literacy” lessons in primary education from the perspective of a competency-based approach. On the basis of synthesizing research findings, three key conditions for developing creativity are identified: (1) using learners’ creative thinking potential effectively; (2) shifting teacher–student interaction from an evaluation-oriented approach to an approach grounded in cooperation and inquiry; and (3) strengthening teachers’ self-confidence regarding creativity. It is substantiated from a scientific and methodological standpoint that integrating these conditions into mother tongue and reading lessons contributes to the formation of students’ skills in alternative thinking, argumentation, communication, and reflective analysis.
