The topic of practicing and prospective teachers' readership has received attention in reading research, but there is a gap in Western studies when it comes to comparing teachers' reading status with that of the general population. With data from a national survey in Taiwan on college juniors, this study found that education majors as a subgroup spent significantly less time per day on extracurricular reading than the college juniors as a whole. Their mean score ranked 14 among 17 areas of academic study. However, when the researcher looked at the reading frequency for various reading materials, education majors were found to read significantly more novels, prose/poetry, and non-major academic books than the general population, while spending less time reading magazines and manga.
