It is outlined the role of those tasks in the process of developing key and substantive competences for schoolchildren. It is analysed the structure and the principles of competence oriented tasks construction. Some tasks samples are recommended which are directed to develop the reading competence for using in Ukrainian Literature textbooks and at the lessons in particular. It is proved that the content of Ukrainian Literature textbook gives the possibility to develop key and substantive competences of learners. It is confirmed by the quality of informative texts in the textbooks and the availability of competence oriented tasks in them.
