Abstract
This study investigates the reading habits of school students studying in Phudmuri Presbyterian Secondary School located at Mawlai in Shillong, India. A structured-interview schedule was used for data collection. Students of class vii, class viii and class ix of the selected School formed the population of the study. Out of the 304 total numbers of students from all the three classes, only 65(21%) of them were randomly selected to form the sample. The result of the study shows that the reading habit of the school students under study is very poor. Though majority of them said that they read news papers, but they read only the Khasi local news papers not the English news papers. It was also found that majority of them are not reading magazines, story books or novels.
