“…Tablets are the most favorite mobile device types, which may be due to device vendors' marketing strategies. Babarinde et al (2018) found that some secondary school students may use electronic devices to read books, but they also mainly use these devices for leisure purposes. While there are prescribed resources on textbooks and school recommendations, school students tend to reduce time on voluntary reading activities once they can spend time on electronic media.…”

“…E-books are recognized for their role in supportive learning and developing plain skills that students find valuable in today's technical age (Melinis, 2011). While there are studies on the reading conduct of secondary school students in Nigeria (Akande & Oyedapo, 2018;Babarinde & Dike, 2018), there is a gap in the literature to examine popular and amusing reading habits specifically in Nigerian secondary schools. .…”

The study directed a descriptive cross-sectional survey to explore the modifications in text reading habits before and after the COVID-19 pandemic in Layyah, Pakistan. Layyah universities were selected as the research setting, concentrating on a population of 340 undergraduate (BS) learners. The sample of 189 students was determined by Krecy Morgan's (1970) research advisory table. Data collection complicated the usage of a closed, self-administered questionnaire to collect information on learners' reading ways during the pandemic. The findings of the study exposed an important change in the reading ways of the respondents. These modifications were credited to educational, social, freedom, and informational determinations. Numerous learners faced challenges retrieving e-books, whether free or paid. Based on the study's results, it is suggested that universities expand the range of reading materials providing to learners. This was aims to lodge numerous reading preferences and provide to the varied needs in reading that arose during the lockdown.

“…Good financial background also positively affects reading motivation in children [ 7 ]. On the contrary, being unable to access reading materials is a huge hindrance in building children’s interest in reading [ 40 ]. This argument is consistent with a study stating that students from small families with only one or two children have more motivation to read since their parents can spend more money and time caring for their reading behavior and interest [ 38 ].…”

Although studies have explored the predictors of book reading interest among children, little is known about the underlying mechanism that helps children become interested in reading books. This study attempt to demonstrate: (1) how book-reading interest is driven by reasons for choosing books (recommendation or personal preference), (2) how students with high and low academic achievements are motivated by different thinking pathways, and (3) how home scholarly culture improves book-reading interest through such pathways. Using Bayesian analysis on a dataset of survey responses from 4966 Vietnamese secondary students (11–15 years old, sixth to ninth grade), we found: (i) Reading interest is positively associated with a book recommendation and parental book reading activities (parents read books to children); (ii) High-achieving students are more interested in reading books if they can choose those books according to personal preferences; (iii) Parental book reading activities can promote book reading interest through recommendations and also by understanding children’s personal preferences. We advocate a more personalized approach in educational policymaking, curriculum design, and home scholarly culture based on students’ abilities and perceptions.
