Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is an integral part of educational success of young people. Using PISA 2018 database, it was verified that ICT at home significantly influences students’ reading literacy to a certain extent. The regression coefficient for ICTHOME was a significant predictor of the odds of Read Level being less than or equal to category 1, as opposed to a higher category.INTICT positively associated to a corresponding increase in read score while ENTUSE, HOMESCH, and COMPICT were found to be not significant. On the other hand, SOIAICT and USESCH remained negatively associated with students’ reading proficiencysimilar to findings of the other researchers.
