This article explores effective methods for developing a reading culture among 3rd and 4th-grade students through extracurricular reading activities. At this developmental stage, children transition from foundational reading to independent comprehension, making it a critical period for instilling a lifelong love for books. The study highlights various interactive and pedagogical approaches, such as reading clubs, role-playing games based on literary characters, and group discussions, designed to make reading an engaging rather than obligatory task. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of a supportive reading environment created through the collaboration of teachers and parents. The proposed methods aim not only to improve reading fluency but also to enhance critical thinking, expand vocabulary, and foster moral values in young learners
