在「國際閱讀素養調查」(Progress International Reading Literacy Study，PIRLS)中，台灣學生每天的課外閱讀比率是低於國際平均值，這顯現很少人有良好的閱讀習慣，反而在學生每日用上網的時間有增加的趨勢，探究其原因是學校缺乏閱讀課程來產生教學的互動，使學生失去了閱讀的熱情，有鑑於此新竹教育大學特別安排「閱讀認證」計畫，希望學生在持續的閱讀過程中不斷的成長和發展，培養自己的閱讀習慣來提升競爭力。
在電腦網路越來越普及的社會中造就資訊傳播的便利性提高，也讓社交網路漸漸發展成為虛擬社群形態，從早期的電子佈告欄(BBS)到現在的社交網站(Social Network Sites)，都可以讓人們密切討論與互動，而其中社群人數拓展最快速就是Facebook，利用了社交網路的特性讓使用者能更有效率的在網路上找到有關係的親朋好友，將這世界的每個人、每個群體透過各種關係快速的串連起來。
本論文將新竹教育大學所推行的閱讀認證活動與網路社群網站Facebook進行結合，希望藉由社交網路的特性與社群互動功能來建立網路虛擬閱讀社群，和網路上其它讀者一起建立並分享個人化的電子閱讀歷程檔案，以解決閱讀認證過程中讀者會遇到的困難，期望能提昇學生的閱讀習慣。

The report of PIRLS (Progress International Reading Literacy Study) indicated that the average time of Taiwanese students’ reading extracurricular books is lower than the international average. It shows that the reading habit of students in Taiwan need to be improved. Meanwhile, many researches also indicated that students would like to spend more time in internet than reading. Therefore, in order to change this situation, a program called “Reading Certification” (RC) was held in National Hsin-chu University of Education and promoted students to read.
In the RC program, students still have some problems in reading, for example, it is difficult to choice a book which is adaptive with students’ reading ability and interesting, furthermore, students felt lonely when reading. Therefore, this paper proposed a virtual reading community in internet social network – Facebook. Facebook is the social network which has the fastest growth of the members in recent years. Using the traits of social network can make users find their relatives and friends effectively, and connect everyone and every group in the whole world through all kinds of relationship.
This paper has referred to many studies regarding reading behaviors in order to improve of Taiwanese students’ reading habits. Students could choice adaptive books to read with the help of virtual reading community. At the same time, they can build and share a personal electronic reading portfolio on the internet with other readers. A comments and feedback mechanism was also proposed for promote the interactions between the readers and communities and break the reading loneness.
