The question “what are the experiences of children with varying socio-economic status as regards to reading?” constitutes the basic question of this study. Accordingly, three male students in total chosen among three different socio-economic classes were interviewed in depth in order to demonstrate any social issues underlying the problems encountered in reading. The narrative inquiry was chosen as the method of study. We have tried to demonstrate personal experiences and viewpoints of 3 interviewees of the study as regards to reading as well as how they approached the problems thereto. It was observed that there were common grounds as well as varying themes in the stories of these students coming from three different socio-economic classes. It was also understood that social classes play critical roles in formation of such similar and varying points. Accordingly, it is possible to recommend conducting elaborate studies for such social classes.
