Branje je pomembna dejavnost, ki vpliva na osebnostni razvoj posameznika, učenje in učno uspešnost. Vse pozitivne plati branja se vse bolj pozabljajo ob hitrem tempu življenja. Učitelji in knjižničarji imajo velik pomen pri spodbujanju branja. S svojim znanjem o dobrobiti branja, z uporabo različnih metod in oblik dela lahko pritegnejo starše in skupaj spodbujajo učence k branju ter tako skušajo vzgojiti bralca za vse življenje. Namen diplomskega dela je osvetliti pomen branja, bralne pismenosti in bralne motivacije za razvoj otrok. Izpostavljena je pomembna vloga odraslih oseb, predvsem vzgojiteljev, učiteljev, knjižničarjev in staršev. Starši začnejo brati svojim otrokom že od rojstva dalje, nato njihovo vlogo prevzamejo vzgojitelji, učitelji in knjižničarji. Starši svoje otroke še vedno spodbujajo k branju in jim pomagajo. Njihova vloga se pri vstopu v šolo ne konča, ampak le spremeni. Opisane so različne metode in oblike dela pri spodbujanju bralne motivacije doma in v šoli. Predstavljena je bralna značka, ki je najbolj razširjena oblika spodbujanja bralne motivacije v Sloveniji, ki povezuje domače in šolsko okolje. Empirični del diplomskega dela zajema analizo anketnih vprašalnikov, ki so bili izvedeni na Osnovni šoli Šmihel. Anketirani so bili učenci sedmih in osmih razredov. Prikazani podatki o odnosu učencev do branja, njihovih bralnih navadah ter vlogi odraslih oseb pri njihovem branju veljajo le za omenjeni vzorec, zato rezultatov ne moremo posplošiti na celotno populacijo.Reading is a very important activity tha influences on individual\u27s development, learning and learning efficiency.
