Reading literacy is an important factor associated with the further academic success of students, and underlies the ability to learn. Depending on what type of passages the student works with, in the most general sense, it is possible to distinguish between reading informational and reading literary passages. This work is devoted to the study of the dimension of the construct "reading literacy" based on the material of literary and informational passages. In the course of the analysis, we managed to find a number of reasons to confirm the hypothesis about the essential one-dimensionality of this construct. According to the results obtained, the reading literacy of primary school students can be considered as a single construct, regardless of the type of passages on the basis of which its assessment is made.
