Abstract

Education stands as a cornerstone for personal and societal advancement, with reading revered as an art capable of profound transformation. This study delves into the effectiveness of strategies aimed at nurturing a thriving reading culture among Key Stage 3 students. Guided by four primary objectives, it seeks to illuminate the strategies employed by school librarians and teachers, assess challenges encountered in their implementation, gauge educators’ attitudes toward these strategies, and explore the school environment’s role in promoting reading culture. Employing a case study research design, this study investigates the efficacy of library strategies in cultivating a reading culture among Key Stage 3 students. The findings reveal the effectiveness of implemented strategies despite challenges posed by human and physical resources for educators. Overall, the study underscores the pivotal role of strategic interventions in fostering a successful reading culture among Key Stage 3 students, providing valuable insights for educational practitioners and policymakers alike.
