In the age we live in, individuals are expected to acquire problem-solving skills, which are one of the higher-order thinking skills. However, it can be argued that for this purpose, it is important for individuals to acquire problem-solving skills from an early age. It can be stated that this process becomes even more important especially for students studying in different classes. In this regard, it is known that there are different approaches to equipping individuals with problem-solving skills at a young age, and one of these is interactive (dialogic) book reading activities. Hence, the aim of the current study is to develop the problem-solving skills of second grade students studying in a multigrade class through interactive book reading. In the study, within the scope of a qualitative approach, the action research method was taken as the basis. The study group of the research consists of 6 second grade primary students selected by convenience sampling and studying in a multigrade class in a village school located in the central district of Kars province. The data collection tools are the researcher’s diary, teacher observation form, case study form, product evaluation form, and process evaluation form. Descriptive and content analysis were used in the analysis of the data. According to the results obtained from the study, it was concluded that the interactive book reading activity contributed positively to the development of students’ problem-solving skills. It is thought that this study will shed light on future research in this area.
