Reading is a fundamental skill essential for junior high school students, and it is not a patent for Chinese language learning. The study of mathematics also relies on reading. In the process of primary school mathematics teaching, students' mathematical reading habits are crucial for the development of their reading abilities, and they play a pivotal role in improving their mathematical academic performance. This article reviews the latest theoretical literature and draws on the cutting-edge achievements of extracurricular reading research. Using questionnaire survey and interview methods, students and teachers from X Middle School in WuCheng County are selected as research subjects, aiming to study the relationship between mathematical reading habits and mathematical academic performance. Based on the research results and the interview process, some guiding strategies are proposed to address the problems in students' mathematical reading: correct the attitude towards mathematical reading and cultivate mathematical reading motivation;Optimize the mathematics reading environment and guide students to cooperate and communicate; Expand the content of mathematics reading and emphasize the continuity of mathematics teaching; Improve math reading methods and strengthen math reading guidance.
