Abstract
Reading is vital for expanding knowledge, improving critical thinking, and fostering creativity. It not only benefits academic, professional, and personal development but also contributes to sustainable development and social prosperity. However, in Cambodia, reading habits are underdeveloped due to the rising popularity of social media and other factors of historical, cultural, and economic nature. Collaboration between stakeholders, including the government, non-governmental organizations, schools, and parents, is essential to promote reading habits in the country. This will help turn Cambodia into a reading nation, foster cognitive development, and cultivate more well-informed citizens. Relying on secondary sources, this article aims to discuss the benefits of reading and how to promote it. The article first defines the term reading from different perspectives. It then illustrates the importance of reading and its relationship with national development. It also highlights the barriers to developing reading habits among Cambodians. The article concludes with suggestions to promote reading habits in Cambodia.
