Newspaper creates reading habits and easily differentiates people who read and

who do not. Reading is the art of learning something. Newspaper is the store house

of knowledge and provides knowledge of different tests and kinds of different

segments of the society. It is equally important for the entire people form student to

government officials. Reading builds vocabulary skills and background knowledge

that strengthens reading skills and increases the enjoyment of reading (Strommen

!ates" #$$%& Student's willingness and unwillingness to read newspaper is an

indicator to know their current reading habits. newspaper reading habit is

somewhat established by the time a person reaches the traditional college age of )*

(Stone +etherington" ),-,& and is typically firmly established by the time a

person reaches # to /$ years of age (0lark" !artire1artolomeo" #$$%&. 2ike all

other habits newspaper reading habit also influenced by the reading habits of

parents. Stone and +etherington (),-,& assert that the newspaper reading behavior

of parents is a stronger predictor of habit formation than programs to establish

readership habits" such as the Newspapers in 3ducation program. Newspaper

reading habits not only creates a habit of reading but also open the doors of self

improvements. 4he practice of reading" a newspaper has been associated with

improvement in students' attitudes toward reading overall (5eRoche" ),*)6

7almer" 8letcher Shapley" ),,%6 Seely" ),*$&. ccording to" !c8arlin students

must feel that they are part of a 9reading club": and newspaper material must relate

to something they already known about.

supporting environment to influence a habit of reading in children at the young

age. ll the concerned parties should influence students to read and should provide

well cooperation to read newspaper. Aniversity library should provide adequate

number of newspaper and facilitate the service properly to read newspaper as many

respondents as they can. sense has to develop to read 3nglish newspaper. In
