This paper explores the organizational and methodological foundations necessary for fostering a reading culture among pupils in grades 1-4. Drawing from a comprehensive review of existing literature, the study identifies critical factors influencing reading attitudes and habits, including family literacy, leisure reading, and sociocultural environments. The findings suggest that developing a reading culture requires a multifaceted approach involving educators, families, and community stakeholders. Emphasis is placed on the significance of diverse reading materials, print-rich environments, and independent reading practices in enhancing children's engagement with literature. The paper advocates for the integration of collaborative family-school initiatives to promote literacy and address socio-economic barriers to reading development.
