Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 社會教育學系在職進修碩士班 === 96 === This research reveals the significant interest of students in the higher grade level on extracurricular reading are comics, joke books and riddles. By this, shows the trend that these students prefer books containing pictures and their extracurricular reading is purely for the purpose of entertainment. Most students are able to have immediate focus only on the types of books they like. In comparison of their performances in Reading and Literature classes, students who have been praised as “well done”, many of them are receiving high grades and achievements in class. Many students have found that once they have been drawn by the influences of television and internet access, they have found less interested in reading, a decrease in their reading skills, increase of wording mistakes, using of inappropriate terminology derived from the internet, and difficulties to focus. A view on the reading habit, language abilities, and academic achievements of students in the higher grade level, many of them would either always or often responded that “composition is very difficult and consequently creating unfitting content to the topic”, “reading of books containing large amount of pictures and only few words will cause no progress in writing skills”, and “reading of books containing large amount of pictures will make my grades go down”. Among these students who have responded having difficulties, many of them would fall in the average or below the average ranks in class. Base on the conclusion of this research, the following suggestions were offered as reference to reading classes, libraries, elementary school teachers and authorities in Education while promoting Children’s Cultivating Reading. 1.For school reading classes, setup a series of reading promotion programs to early correct the deviation of students’ reading abilities. 2.For the school library, daily operation such as book borrowing and lending, story telling should be shared by volunteer workers. Leave the time and professional intelligence of librarians initiatively contribute to the comprehensive teaching program collaboration with school teachers. 3.For the school and teachers, all the teachers should make the most of library collection resources and the information professional ability of librarian teachers, cooperatively proceed the education works in coordination of library usage teaching program and Children’s Cultivating Reading program. 4.For authorities in Education, they would take notice of the prevalent reduction of students’ language ability and make revision of the relative laws as well as to introduce librarians with library information professional skills to elementary schools, cooperatively proceed the work in Education according to each course plan in coordination of library usage teaching program and Children’s Cultivating Reading program and elevate students’ reading abilities step by step.
