Summary/Abstract: The paper investigates the representation of oral literature in reading literary works ofsubject teaching by Croatian authors, which are prescribed by the Curriculum for primaryschool and which interfere with oral literature. Interferences were singled out on the basisof structure, theme and motives, characters, language game, homeland, oral literary forms,etc. It is realized that oral literature is quite represented, and that interferences mostlytook place on the basis of homeland and patriotism, motives and oral literary forms. Theresearch proved that the elements of oral literature are firmly and deeply inserted in thereading works of Croatian authors and that in no case should they be considered peripheralelements as was the case for a long time on the Croatian literary scene when oral literaturewas systematically neglected.
