Journal Title: International Journal of Management Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Reading culture can be explained as a learned practice of seeking knowledge, information or entertainment through the written word. Such practice can be acquired by reading books, magazines, news paper etc. Having a reading culture has become imperative in the 21st century for everybody, especially the children who are the future of the nation. To participate effectively in children is the task that we must take very seriously. This should be the primary goal of institution heads, teachers, parents and the communities at large. The major objective of this research paper was to assess the causes of non-reading culture in schools, and how teachers and parents can contribute to improve reading culture in schools. Hence the research has been contributed to uncover some of the root problems which make a Kenyan child not interested in reading. Parents and teachers have been chosen as sample units to give the detailed information as to what they can do to help. Factors such as lack of motivation, insufficient parental guidance and financial constraints among others were identified as the major root causes.
