Abstract

This micro study aimed to explore, “Why aren’t children in Bhutan reading?” For the purpose of this study, I have chosen students of two primary schools and one central school. I did case study with 20 students of class IV to VI from each school. I focused my study on reading in both the languages taught in Bhutanese schools: Dzongkha, the national language, and English, as a second language. I collected my data using semi structured interview with students. I also talked informally with some of the students. This small study has led me to my current interest of finding out the main reasons why children are not reading in Bhutan.
