The article deals with the ideological format of the primer, the first book that teaches reading. The concept "ideologeme", the role of ideologemes in the spiritual, moral and socio-political education of children is considered. The authors examine persistent verbal complexes along with visual means in educational publications as representatives of ideological attitudes that play an important role in shaping the worldview of younger children. The transformations taking place in society are invariably reflected in the ideological attitudes mainstreamed in educational literature. The ideologeme "faith" is analyzed on the basis of primers and books for teaching reading literacy, published in the German language in the period from 1901 to 2022. The ideologeme "faith" is considered by analyzing its several universal concepts such as trust, mercy, kindness, care and a few phantom ones: faith in God's protection, faith in the leader, state leadership, in oneself; care for the soul, for the neighbor, for nature, for the common good. The obtained results make it possible to trace the transformation of the components of the universal ideologeme "faith" in a diachronic aspect and come to the conclusion that basic universal human values, updated by ideologemes, do not undergo significant changes over time, while socio-political, politically biased, artificially formed values, either transform or disappear.
