Exploring the Impact of Teacher Support on Reading Literacy Across Cultures
October 20, 2025 - 10:10
Previous research has extensively examined the relationship between student socioeconomic status (SES) and their reading literacy. However, few studies have delved into the role of perceived teacher social support in this context, especially across different cultural backgrounds. Recent findings suggest that teacher support can significantly influence reading literacy, regardless of a student's SES.
The interplay between perceived teacher support and literacy skills highlights the importance of nurturing educational environments. Students who feel supported by their teachers are more likely to engage with reading materials and develop stronger literacy skills. This relationship is particularly pronounced in diverse cultural settings, where varying perceptions of teacher support can affect educational outcomes.
As educators strive to enhance literacy rates, understanding the nuances of teacher-student dynamics becomes crucial. By fostering supportive relationships, teachers can help bridge the gap in literacy skills among students from different socioeconomic backgrounds, ultimately promoting a more equitable educational landscape.
