　　This research investigated the students from a key junior school in Changchun city，Jilin province.I randomly selected some students from different grades，a total of 150 students.The result of the investigation.
　　There is a significant positive relationship among emotional attitude，habit，encountering difficulties，strategies and material selection（remotional attitude-habit =0.530，p<0.05； remotional attitude-encountering difficulties=0.431，p<0.05； remotional attitude-strategies =0.582，p<0.05； remotional attitude-material selection =0.649，p<0.05； rhabit-encountering difficulties=0.538， p<0.05； rhabit-strategies =0.596，p<0.05； rhabit-material selection=0.441，p<0.05； rencountering difficulties- strategies=0.346，p<0.05； rencountering difficulties- material selection=0.294，p<0.05； rstategies- material selection=0.402，p<0.05.In the investigation，36.67% students think emotional attitude is lack of extracurricular reading，30% students hold that the habit of extracurricular reading is inefficient，18.67% students consider that the difficulties of extracurricular reading result in losing interest，9.33% students regard the strategies of extracurricular reading as influencing factors，only 5.33% think the material selection influences extracurricular reading）
　　According to the results of the investigation，I give some suggestions about how to improve the students ability of the extracurricular reading.Teachers should tell students the importance of extracurricular reading.Only do students think extracurricular reading is enormously helpful to enhance their reading ability，then they will actively devote to the extracurricular reading activity.So teachers should assist their students realize the value of extracurricular reading.Helping students to form good habits of extracurricular reading，good habits can improve the ability of understanding of any materials.What.s more，cultivating good habits can make students persist in carrying on the extracurricular reading.Besides，teachers should select some materials in accordance with the students. ability.If the materials beyond the ability of students，they will give up easily.In addition，teachers should teach students some reading strategies.To improve students.reading speed and reading efficiency，selecting appropriate reading strategies is important.And acquire a knowledge of reading strategies is a precondition of forming reading strategies，thus，the teacher should teach students the reading strategies related to the extracurricular reading，guiding the students develop their reading strategies which can be used effectively in the process of the extracurricular reading.
