Findings of the study revealed that, in Sacred Heart Senior High School, students' poor reading culture leads them to perform poorly academically and is the reason why students indulge in examination malpractices. It also revealed that modernity has taken away students' reading life. Based on the findings, it was recommended that, reading should be associated with pleasure and libraries be stocked with modernised and interesting reading materials. Additionally, students should be motivated to read by going on excursions to well-established libraries and book exhibition centres. Finally, it was recommended that teachers use attractive teaching learning materials as well as learner centred approaches to teach reading and stakeholders should sell the noble idea of developing good reading culture.Keywords: Reading, approaches, focused group discussions, interviews, qualitative method.
