The purpose of the study is to compile previous research on students' reading habits in terms of fiction and teachers' working methods to develop students' interest in reading. This was done from a teacher perspective. The questions we started from in this literature study were what previous research said about students' interest in reading and according to previous research, what working methods can teachers use to increase students' desire to read? This is a literature study based on other researchers' results that are presented and clarified, but also the approach in the selection of the literature. A systematic literature study must include complete studies that are of good quality and that form the basis for various conclusions. This section also takes a stand on the method selection and data collection, but also its implementation, analysis methods and ethical considerations.The results of this study have shown that identification and the social interaction in fiction are two decisive factors for young people's interest in reading and desire to read in general and not just for students. It is possible to summarize which different working methods can increase students' desire to read. These consist of the teacher's commitment, deep reading, reading comprehension, discussion and variation of material for different students.
