This research helps to find out the factors that contribute to the lack of interest in reading among form one male students, the reading materials that are often read by form one male students and the problems that male students face in cultivating their reading habit. This is a quantitative study that emphasizes on the relation of three main factors which are the materials read, the time spent reading various reading materials and the person who influences the reading habit. The research instruments used are questionnaire and structured interview. Data obtained from these two research instruments were analyzed using the Statistical Program for Social Sciences (SPSS). The data revealed that the respondents read from a wide range of reading materials (20%) each for books, magazines, newspapers, comics and websites. A majority of the respondents read less than an hour for the following reading materials; reference/exercise books, general knowledge books, novels/story books and newspapers. Encouragement to read is important for all students in order to increase the interest of students towards reading.
