This study explores the formation, development, and role of reading culture in the individual and society within the educational system. It examines how early exposure to reading, family support, and school practices contribute to the development of lifelong reading habits. The research highlights the impact of reading culture on cognitive, emotional, and social development, as well as its role in fostering critical thinking, creativity, empathy, and ethical reasoning. Practical strategies for promoting reading culture in schools, including interactive and collaborative methods and the use of digital resources, are discussed.
