This article presents the problem and successes that educators in the South Pacific face in the struggle to develop programs that encourage children to become readers. The studies carried out in the early 1980s were the basis on which the Oceania Literacy Development Program was organized. The Institute of Education at the University of the South Pacific has been supported in its work by Overseas Reading Associations and UNESCO.
