Urgency of the research. In the context of the creation of a new Ukrainian school, it is important to modernize the content of education, one of the means of implementing which was and remains a textbook. Therefore, the task of scientists and teachers-practitioners is to prepare a new generation of educational literature.

Target setting. The current educational transformations actualize the thorough study, comprehension and creative use of domestic historical and pedagogical experience, in particular the development of textbook creation in the primary education. In this context, scientific interest is aroused by the period of revival of the National School in Ukraine, which is characterized by a significant update of the content of primary education, the creation of a new generation of textbooks for younger schoolchildren.

Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. Various aspects of the development of textbook formation in primary education within the selected chronological limits are reflected in the works of Ukrainian scientists N. M. Bibik, M. S. Vashulenko, N. S. Koval, Ya. P. Kodlyuk, A. Ya. Savchenko, V. P. Timenko and others.

The research objective. Identify and characterize trends in the development of textbook creation in the primary education during the first decade of State independence of Ukraine (1991-2001) to take into account previous achievements and avoid mistakes in the process of creating educational literature for the new Ukrainian primary school.

The statement of basic material. The analysis of educational books published in the first decade of independent Ukraine allowed us to determine the following trends in the development of textbook creation in primary education: revision of the content of textbooks taking into account the principles of child-centrism, National Orientation, humanization; development of a new generation of educational literature by Ukrainian authors; preparation of unified educational books for three-year and four-year primary schools; creation of new types of textbooks and manuals – alternative, two-level, integrated, general development in nature; introduction of their testing and passing the "stamp" procedure. Along with positive trends in the development of textbook-making in primary education, we also note negative ones: deepening the problem of publishing educational literature, providing it to younger schoolchildren in a timely manner, preparing educational literature by low-professional authors, and returning payment for using textbooks.

Conclusions. The analyzed sources allowed not only to gain new historical and pedagogical knowledge, but also to comprehend previous experience in the process of modern reform of the educational sector, the creation of a new Ukrainian primary school. We are convinced that the priority principles in the development of textbook-making in primary education should remain child-centrism, National Orientation, humanization, variability, differentiation, which were started and implemented in the first decade of State independence of Ukraine.
