Because the educational significance of reading activities for growing children is so great, the importance of reading cannot be overemphasized. While the reading volume of elementary school students in Korea is very high, as they go up to middle school, the reading volume falls rapidly. This study examined a more effective way to resolve this middle school reduction in reading volume. Middle school freshmen were surveyed on their reading habits and preferences in the sixth grade of elementary school, after which the groups were divided into two groups based on their averages; groups with high/low reading habits and groups with high/low reading preferences). Participants also wrote reading reports for six weeks, kept a record of the days of the week they read for more than 20 minutes, and noted down the time they read in minutes. It was found that 75% of participants did not read one book a week when in the sixth grade of elementary school and it was confirmed that reading many books and liking to read were elements that had different dimensions. For example, about 35% of the participants said they liked books but rarely read them. It was also confirmed that the reading habits formed in elementary school were a strong variable that affected the number of days that and the reading time of middle school students rather than the reading preferences formed in elementary school. This study concluded that a subjective attitude toward reading and actually reading were completely different problems, which suggested that 'habits' could have a greater influence than 'preferences' when performing tasks to achieve goals.

Present study was conducted to explore the effect of productive reading habit (PRH) and construal of reading on reading performance, and to identify any psychological differences between those who read continuously and those who do not. For this purpose, 309 adolescents were divided into a group with a lowly level of productive reading habit(PRH) and a group with a highly level of PRH, and a concrete(why) versus abstract(how) construal of reading were primed, and reading performance were investigated for 6 weeks. After that, chi-square analysis and analysis of variance were performed on the collected data. As a result, the group with highly PRH had more days of reading and longer total reading time than the group with lowly PRH. Also, in the group with a highly PRH, the number of days of reading and reading time did not differ according to the construal of reading. On the other hand, the group with a lowly PRH had more reading days and a longer total reading time under the condition of concrete construal of reading than the condition of abstract construal. This study shows that a concrete construal can be helpful in enabling people with lowly productive habit(PH) to initiate a task and maintain concentration to the task.

The final purpose of reading education is to have the students get habitation of reading.'Habitation of Reading' means that students acquire a habit of reading and the habit has formed as a part of their daily lives. A habit of reading can not be formed as a part of life by only one day's reading as all kinds of actions can not be formed as habits by only one try. We can expect that students will acquire 'habitation of reading' only when they have Joy and interests in reading, motivation to read, practice and reinforcement of reading and satisfactory rewards. In this study, the characteristics of reading in the knowledge and information society were investigated and some ways to encourage successful reading education in schools we suggested.

This study focuses on an intergenerational book club with middle-aged and young people as a follow-up study on a book club with older people and young people. The book club program was designed to help people develop a reading habit and experience picture book bibliotherapy. The researcher hosted a picture book reading group between middle-aged and young participants, had individual interviews, and conducted a qualitative study to analyze research data and present implications. For middle-aged participants, the intergenerational book club was an opportunity to understand young people and their children and learn from the young people, and for young participants, it helped them understand middle-aged people and their parents and learn from the middle-aged people, allowing them to feel a sense of connection rather than a generation gap. In addition, positive effects of picture book bibliotherapy were seen while reducing stress and learning important lessons in life. The participants received help in forming a reading habit. This paper provides constructive suggestions for book clubs where different generations interact. It is hoped that through this study, intergenerational book clubs that can be used to understand other generations will be more popular and people will be able to discover the benefits of reading books including picture books and make reading a habit.

English is an important tool of information literacy in terms of global information sharing environment. This impacts readers advisory services of public libraries in many ways. In order to identify status of English reading programs in public libraries, this paper investigated 50 public librarries' services for non-English speakers in California, which has long history serving readers advisory services to them. As a result, it is suggested that public libraries have to play a key role to help adult users to be competent in English with English reading programs. Public libraries also need to support families to build English reading environment at home to expand reading activities in libraries. In addition, reading habit in mother tongue is also important for English reading ability, so public libraries consider to build a bridge between them to provide effective English reading programs.

The purpose of this study is to explore ways to get children in the information age of today to develop good reading habits and make reading a central part of their lives from an early age. The results of the study are as follows : 1. First of all, it is important for children to gain the habit of reading books from their early childhood during activities such as eating food, sleeping, studying, playing, going errands and watching TV etc. 2. The habituation of reading is formed by repeating and reenforcing the habit once it is acquired. Then we will do it easily, unconsciously and automatically. 3. Habituation is formed by the course of formalizing, training, reenforcing, and motivating like other daily activities. 4. The prerequisites of habituation for reading are the early integration of reading books, putting reading books at the core of curriculum, developing an interest in reading, motivating to read books, giving good rewards for reading, and simply encouraging reading. 5.

책을 많이 읽는 사람이 사회를 이끄는 리더가 된다고 한다. 그러나 우리의 여가활용은 여전히 TV이고 독서는 꼴지를 차지할 만큼 책을 읽지 않는다. 우리의 아킬레스건은 창의적인 엘리트가 없다는 것이다. 스스로 TV를 멀리하고 자녀들과 함께 책을 읽는 습관을 들이는 것이 절실할 때이다.
