Abstract
In this article the experimental work of forming lexical competence by the signs and symbolical means is described. Signs provide the form of lexical units and symbols depict their meaning. Primary school children’s cognitive abilities are not high, though they are to learn a lot of new words and collocations in a very short period of time. It was proved, and showed the effect of creating symbolical means for memorizing as many lexical units as possible. Working with younger students on the use of lexical material, it’s useful to rely on the semiotic and symbolic functions of the language. We have described the components of the offered model.
