“…Its acquisition is crucial as it enables comprehension of written text. Reading comprehension calls for a wide range of competencies as well as some background knowledge from the reader (Elleman & Oslund 2019;Bruggink et al, 2022) The ability of children to comprehend what they read significantly impacts their academic success. Without proficient reading skills, students may struggle to locate and convey information, impeding their understanding of tasks and potentially leading to misunderstandings that hinder their overall learning progress.…”

Reading holds a key role in personal development and academic success, contributing significantly to knowledge acquisition, vocabulary enhancement, and critical thinking skills. The absence of a reading habit often corresponds with lower performance in English classes, underscoring the need to nurture this skill. This review investigates past studies, using Google Scholar and Education Resources Information Centre (ERIC) to explore discussions on challenges in teaching reading in ESL classrooms and the impact of students' reading habits on overall academic success. From a pool of 78 journal articles, 28 were identified as directly relevant to the research questions. Some of the challenges encountered in teaching reading are the extensive use of social media platforms, instructional strategies used, materials selection, and the application of inefficient pedagogical approaches. The digital era further contributes to students' digital distractions, impeding their learning process. Nevertheless, this review reveals a positive connection between consistent reading habits and enhanced academic performance. This review advocates for active involvement from parents, teachers, and policymakers in fostering a love for reading among children, emphasising the enduring benefits of maintaining a regular reading habit. Encouraging and maintaining a regular reading habit emerges as a crucial strategy to positively impact students' academic performance. It is imperative for teachers and parents to monitor their children's use of technology during studies to prevent distractions and ensure its sustainable integration into education. In light of these findings, continuous efforts are recommended to instil and sustain a passion for reading, recognizing its profound influence on students' educational journeys.

Background: Although one of the most significant educational goals is to teach learners to comprehend written texts, the Global Education Monitoring Report (UNESCO 2021) identified that many children and adolescents have not acquired the minimum proficiency in reading even at the end of their secondary school career. South African literacy rates have remained with approximately 78% of Grade 4 learners unable to answer basic literal questions.Objectives: To explore teachers’ responses to an 18 h online course on reading for meaning for Grade 4–7 teachers, using the Community of Inquire (CoI) framework.Method: An interpretive paradigm, using a qualitative approach and a case study design, was used for this 18 h online study which was conducted between February and March 2022. Ten teachers were purposively selected for this research article.Results: After inductively and deductively analysing the data collected from the post questionnaire survey and the online Telegram application comments, the teachers’ responses to the three CoI presences are presented.Conclusion: When reflecting on the conceptualisation of using the CoI framework, the social presence dominated. The teaching presence became important when the teachers reflected on their teaching experiences. The cognitive presence then interacted with both the teaching and social presences as the teachers began to be more aware of their own changes in how they taught.Contribution: The study found that using the CoI framework was appropriate for understanding the teachers responses to an online course for reading-for-meaning.
