Educators play a crucial role in nurturing students' reading habits. EdCity conducted a survey on reading habits among secondary school students in Hong Kong, collecting 7,423 student responses and 156 teacher responses. During the discussion, experts acknowledged the prevalence of fragmented reading among students and their ability to effectively use fragmented time for acquiring knowledge. To promote reading, they recommended incorporating movies and exhibitions to create unique and innovative reading experiences, fostering curiosity and long-term engagement. Let's continue exploring innovative strategies and best practices to foster a love for reading in today's classrooms. #Education #ReadingHabits #StudentEngagement #Reading #EdCity
