The article is devoted to a case study of developing reading skills implementing jigsaw technique. Communicative language teaching involves students into cooperative activities and they feel more confident working in pairs and groups with their peers, practicing language skills and sharing ideas with other students. Reading is seen as an interactive process which helps students to learn to work in teams and to overcome difficulties cooperating with each other. The teaching proposal is based on the jigsaw technique, which presupposes developing students’ language skills as well communication and interaction skills so that even students who are usually less active will be more productive in class, and in this way students’ motivation is increased and they gain more enjoyment from the learning process. The teaching proposal is offered for 5th graders, it is based on the textbook Academic Stars and consists of several stages starting with the introduction to the topic offered to read, giving instructions for further activities. The first stage of the proposal contains dividing the class into three groups and working on the text and new vocabulary items. The next stage requires mixing teams, so that there is a representative from each home team in a new group, then continuing doing tasks given by the teacher and the third deals with checking reading understanding. Students can perform tasks only if they cooperate and support each other. At the fourth stage students return to home teams and share information about jobs they learned from other teams. This stage includes speaking based on the text studied in class. The fifth stage is self-assessment. For the last stage a questionnaire in Ukrainian is offered to students and results are discussed in class. The results obtained demonstrate that the students positively evaluated the jigsaw technique for the reading class, which was new for them. They were satisfied with the mode of work, underlined being more active in class and highly assessed their academic achievements during the session.
