This micro study aimed to explore, “Why aren’t our students reading?” For this study, I have chosen students from my school. Although the English language is a second language in the schools of the Bhutanese people and it is also given the paramount importance by the Education Ministry, it remains a national concern for many educators and parents in Bhutan. Most of the teachers and principals seem to believe that the majority of students lack reading skills. Students hardly read books other than prescribed texts. On the other hand, teachers have taught the reading strategies for our children to use and become competent and lifelong readers. In spite of all these efforts, we do not see many students display good at reading, which consequently hampers the acquisition of reading ability by students. I did a case study with thirty-six students of classes IV to XII. I collected my data using a focus group interview with students to have more in-depth information on the perspectives of reading. My study identified four main areas of concern.
