The relevance of the problem of organizing individual reading for students studying pedagogy is due to the need to organize the educational process in the context of digitalization, the priority of distance learning, and students and teachers’ need of feedback. The purpose of the article is to describe the experimentally developed digital model of the reader’s diary of the student’s individual work and to describe the results of its implementation for various pedagogical specialties. The model reveals the level of self-education, the universal way of organizing the student’s own choice, study, understanding and embodiment of reading experience as a means of forming professional competencies of future teachers. Participants were 156 students of the 1st, 3rd and 5th courses of the specialty “a teacher of the Russian language and literature”. The need to introduce the model is confirmed by students and teachers’ positive attitude to the presented digital model, students’ enthusiasm, professors’ interest and personal significant results. The creative interaction of subjects of education proves the "effect of modernity" of the developed model and its relevance in the situation of online and offline education integration.
