The article presents the results of an analysis of a survey related to some problems of the reading practices of students (5th - 12th grade) educated in secondary schools in Bulgaria and at Bulgarian Sunday schools abroad. Data from student answers to the following questions were processed and studied: How often do you read? Do you have a lot of books at home? How often do you see your parents at home reading? What do you do when you read? What do you pay attention to when you read? etc. The conclusions of the analysis are used to make a methodological comment on the role of Bulgarian language training in secondary school to help build and improve the reading skills of Bulgarian students in Bulgaria and around the world.
