The Parliament and the European Comission have recommended that until the end of mandatory schooling, all students from all of the member states of the EU should form eight essential key-competences for a lifelong learning. Learning to learn is one of the eight key-competences and it implies the formation in students of some learning abilities during mandatory schooling so that they might be able, in the future, to be connected constantly to the novelties of the professional and social field in which they activate. In the formation and development of the aforementioned competence, literacy abilities are a key-element. Reading, comprehension and the transposition of the received information from a literary or a scientific text into a new context constitute essential stages in the formation of the learning to learn competence. Taking into consideration the importance of the formation of the literacy abilities in the schooling, professional and social evolution of the students, the current study wishes to present the results of a micro-research that was done on the level of the formation of these abilities at the end of the mandatory schooling stage in the Romanian educational system. The study was done on four classes of students, from the 10th grade, from two different high-schools, with a pedagogical vocational orientation, the teacher-educator specialization. In the formation of the learning to learn competence, directed learning and individual study contribute to a large extent and the literacy abilities are the foothold in the realization of an efficient learning.
