This study examines the correlation between 9–10-year-old learners’ reading interest and four types of socio-cultural environments that stimulate their interest (enthusiasm) in reading as a fundamental pillar of reading literacy development. The study aimed to map and analyse the socio-cultural context of four levels of intensity of reading interest of 1195 Slovak, Czech and Polish learners. A 46-item questionnaire was used to achieve the aim of the study. Statistical testing using Spearman’s coefficient was used for analysis. The significant results of the research showed that the correlation between monitored younger learners’ reading interest and family environment is very weak, and reading as a leisure activity in the virtual environment is not attractive.
