The theme dispersion is one of the practical problems in the reading promotion works in our country. From 1999 to 2018, the Carolina Summer Reading Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has received a great deal of public attention and success by focusing on one book with one theme all the time, which is worth learning. In China, reading promotion works should pay more attention to the needs of readers, focus on specific topics, and do the theme-focused activities to ensure the reading activities’ effects and long-term development.
