This article is devoted to the urgent problem of the formation of basic formal business style skills in younger schoolchildren using the example of the genre of instruction. The importance of mastering this genre in the modern world for the daily and educational activities of students is emphasized. The linguistic and stylistic features of instructional texts and their potential in familiarizing schoolchildren with the elements of the official business style are analyzed. The article also provides methodological recommendations and specific examples of exercises aimed at step-by-step formation of skills to analyze, interpret and create instructional texts, including the use of game forms of work. The author pays special attention to considering the age characteristics of younger schoolchildren when selecting materials and organizing the educational process. The conclusion is made about the linguistic and didactic potential of the instruction genre in the development of communicative and cognitive abilities of younger schoolchildren. This article will be useful for primary school teachers, teachers working with children, and students of higher educational institutions in the pedagogical field.
