Keywords:
ading culture, digital era, traditional reading, electronic reading, reading, digital literacy, education, information technology, student, thinking.Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the changes in the
content and forms of reading culture in the context of the rapid development of
digital technologies. In particular, it examines the characteristics, advantages, and
disadvantages of traditional (printed) and electronic reading, and substantiates the
importance of their integration in the modern educational process. The impact of
reading on an individual’s intellectual potential, independent thinking, speech
culture, and spiritual development is scientifically explained. During the research,
theoretical analysis, comparative approach, and empirical methods (survey,
interview, observation) were used to study students’ reading habits, their use of
digital resources, and their attitudes toward reading. The results indicate that
relying solely on either digital or traditional reading is insufficient; rather, their
combination enhances learning effectiveness. The article also offers practical
recommendations for developing reading culture, which are significant for the
education system and youth development.
