How many books have you read each week?” or “How long do you spend on reading when you have free time?” Reading is a key component that not only broadens students’ world knowledge and subject contents but also enables learners to achieve their educational goals. Unfortunately, many students don’t enjoy reading; moreover, they prefer other after school activities such as watching television or movies, talking on the phone with friends, listening to music, chatting online with other people, playing video games, hanging out with friends, or sleeping. Those activities both diminish and waste students’ reading time; consequently, their reading attainment is still unsatisfactory. What is more, those kind of activities lead the students to not to love to read as habits. Therefore, the Sustained Silent Reading (SSR) which has been integrated into classrooms in the United States more than twenty-five years (Gardiner, 2001) and also has become a part of school curriculum (Nagy, Campenni, & Shaw, 2000) is an effective intervention in order to encourage students to read as habits.
