Reading Culture among Students: The Activity Model of Reading

<p>The importance of reading for intellectual growth and the enhancement of creative abilities cannot be overstated. Regrettably, the practice of reading is on the decline among the younger generation. This paper, based on an experimental study, is aimed at developing a reading competency model for college students. Based on primary data from college students, the paper examines the factors contributing to the decline in reading habits among students and suggests actions they can take to improve their reading habits. Inputs received from the primary data collection have been used to create a model to develop reading culture and enhance competency. </p>
