Reading culture is one of the essential factors in building a solid foundation for the development of education, particularly in the country as a whole. At UTS, we encourage our “Seeds” to develop their love of reading through daily habits from their early years. UTS believes that cultivating a reading culture is an important steppingstone for the journey of a global citizen in the 21st century. What is reading culture?  Reading culture is a phrase that expresses the reading behavior, reading values, and reading standards of each individual and the whole social community (according to Mr. Nguyen Huu Viem, National Library of Vietnam). In the conference “Books and Revitalising Education” in 2012, participating professors pointed out three factors that makeup reading culture: reading habits, book selection methods, and reading skills. The formation of the above three factors will determine whether the development of reading culture is positive or not. In the current context of global integration, each individual needs to constantly improve themselves, and forming a positive reading culture is one of the core things for individuals and the community, in general, to develop sustainably.     The importance of reading culture in personal development  Reading culture plays a key role in perfecting human skills and personality through the following values: Providing knowledge Developing emotional intelligence quotient (EQ) Improving communication skills Training thinking in everything   The experience and quintessence of our predecessors are often summarised and preserved today in the form of books and documents, so reading culture is a means to help us receive that huge source of knowledge. In addition, reading also helps us absorb many other thoughts, philosophies, and perspectives to have a more comprehensive and objective view of life, and develop emotional intelligence (EQ) when learning to understand many different stories.
