Abstract
Studies have shown that while Singapore students are highly literate, they may not necessarily enjoy reading. Reports of Singapore students ranking highly for reading achievement but not reading enjoyment, coupled with a recorded decline in pleasure reading underscores the need to inculcate positive reading habits- with an emphasis on pleasure reading. This study draws upon six case studies of primary school students to examine pleasure reading habits and preferences of preadolescents aged 9 to 12 years old. Data was collected by administering a Title Recognition Test, followed by semi-structured interviews.
