The results of the Reading Culture in Turkey study, published by the OKUYAY Platform—in which AÇEV is a member—, demonstrate that the habit of reading in children increases through adulthood, if early on their parents buy books for them. The findings show that people who read books regularly encourage their children to read, as well. The research also points out that the most important factor in popularizing a reading culture is family. Full text of the study report can be found at this link
