Abstract

This study aimed to explore the role of parents in encouraging primary school-aged children to enjoy reading using descriptive methods. Data were collected through interviews with five parents, who discussed the frequency of reading with their children, motivational techniques, children’s emotional states, and the role of the school environment and social support. The results indicated that parents’ reading habits, a supportive home environment, and the selection of exciting books played essential roles in developing children’s love of reading. Although there were differences in reading preferences between school days and holidays, strategies such as maintaining regular schedules and providing positive motivation helped overcome these challenges. The role of schools was also considered necessary, including giving facilities and attractive reading materials. The study highlights the importance of parent and community involvement in supporting the development of children’s reading interests. Keywords: Children’s Reading Interests, Parental Role, Primary Education, Environmental Support, Reading Motivation
