The process of educating people to become readers must be conscious and directed, taking the latest research results into account. Today, one of the main obstacles seems to be the fact that the world of newer media (internet, movies, games) becomes much more attractive for young people. However, social change cannot be confronted, we must adapt to it. Changing reader habits are a worldwide phenomenon, and it is evident that today’s readers are experiencing more and more out-of-book reading experiences, so we should strive to use all these to educate people to be readers. The aim of this study is to provide an answer to how new media tools can support becoming readers and reader orientation. It first explores the topic of educating people to be readers, then outlines the characteristics of new media and their impact on culture, and mostly lists the tools, genres, and applications that can play a role in educating people to be readers.
