This study explores reading and culture among school teachers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The study specifically investigates whether teachers in KP province practice reading and writing and how this practice impacts their students. Using an interview guide, data were collected from 21 school teachers through in-depth interviews. These participants were recruited from 10 middle schools and 11 high schools. Data were analyzed using qualitative methods. It was the core theme that without developing a reading and writing culture among teachers, students would not become good readers and writers. The study suggests that the teachers' reading and writing habits did not meet the standards required of school teachers. This scenario is found to be weak, as it does not promote a reading and writing culture among middle and high school students.
