Abstract

This study aims to identify the role of the school in cultivation of the reading culture among students in primary school. The objective of this study is to identify the role of schools in cultivate the reading culture of primary school students and to identify factors that hinder the development of the reading culture among primary school students. A qualitative approach was chosen by using a case study as a research methodology. The observation method was used in this study. The findings of this study show that the role of schools in cultivating a reading culture among students can still be improved to make reading culture one of the school cultures. The lack of attention to the aspect of interest in reading will cause school institutions unable to develop reading culture among students. The school needs to look in various angles to forming a reading culture in the school. Students' reading habits require change through various approaches including continuous reading programs, provide reading material collections, teacher efforts and better information access facilities.
