This paper investigates the decrease in literature reading habits among third-year LMD students at Skikda University. It aims to identify the main factors underlying this decrease and provide guidelines for promoting literature reading. A questionnaire was administered to third-year LMD students to address the paper’s questions. The discussion of the results revealed that students’ daily activities, such as watching television and using the internet, jeopardize their reading habits. Additionally, a lack of motivation and ineffective teaching methods for literature contribute to the decline. Moreover, the paper highlights other contributing factors, as perceived by students. Ultimately, this study concludes with recommendations and suggestions that aim to cultivate lifelong readers and lovers of literature.
