The study was designed to use two research methods and phases to explore the project in detail: documentary research and survey method. First, the study collected and analyzed the literatures and contents related to the projects but focused on examining progresses of the project such as situations from the introduction stage to the settlement stage. Second, the study conducted survey to collect data from teachers and students who have experienced the project in elementary, middle and high schools. The detailed contents of questionnaires contain current states of the project in each school, assessment of the project, and requirements for the project. The study found that the project resulted in positive influence to students' reading skills and education. In spite of these positive results, it is necessary to develop altenatives to solve some limts in the current states of the project. Reading promotion projects, in long run, need to have profeissional staffs with responsbility for managing the projects, to improve environments for reading promotion, and to encourage students' voluntary participation to the projects.
