Abstract: This article analyzes the role of explanatory dictionaries in reading literacy textbooks for enriching students' vocabulary from a scientific-theoretical and methodological perspective. It substantiates the impact of vocabulary richness on communicative competence, text comprehension, and cognitive development. Additionally, the article highlights the structure and didactic potential of explanatory dictionaries, as well as the stages for their effective implementation in the lesson process. The research determines that explanatory dictionaries are a crucial methodological tool for transforming students' passive vocabulary into active vocabulary, developing semantic thinking, and forming independent work skills. The article also provides practical recommendations for improving the use of explanatory dictionaries.
