Reading is an important skill that provides access to knowledge, information, and different worlds. Through reading, children develop language skills, a rich vocabulary, communication abilities, text comprehension, interpretation and analysis skills, and foster creativity. However, reading is on the decline, and the reasons for this include the prevalence of digital technologies, the fast pace of modern life, lack of motivation and support, and cultural changes. Parents play a crucial role in encouraging reading in children, as they can shape reading habits, cultivate a love for reading, and create an environment that promotes reading at home through their example, support, and activities. We have explored popular and well-known social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. Social media platforms are used positively to encourage reading, as they provide book reviews, recommendations, giveaways, reading challenges, tips, and inspiring quotes. Accounts dedicated to promoting reading are managed by parents, publishers, and public libraries. There are social media platforms specifically designed for book lovers (Goodreads, LibraryThing, BookLikes, Litsy, Anobii, and Wattpad) that make it easier to share opinions and recommendations about books, thus positively influencing reading encouragement.
