[Purpose/Significance] Minors, as a key group in national reading, are highly valued by society. And the relevant research shows obvious characteristics of interdisciplinary integration. This article reviews existing achievements, clarifies the trend of cross-integration in research on minors reading, and provides reference for future theoretical expansion and practical development. [Method/Process] In terms of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) as the data source, BERTopic modeling technique was employed sequentially to identify topics, cluster topics, and display trends of research results. The topic contents and causes of changes were analyzed step by step from shallow to deep, and future research recommendations were proposed. [Result/Conclusion] Research on minors reading in China has formed 15 research topics from now on, which can be clustered into five major topic groups: reading promotion, early reading, social reading, reading literacy, and dyslexia. In 2006, 2012, 2015, and 2018, there were significant changes in the intensity of research, influenced by three major factors: national policy advocacy, basic rights protection, and technological transformation requirements. Future research needs to continue to combine interdisciplinary research paradigms, focus on reading promotion, social reading, and dyslexia, and conforms to the requirements of national and era transformation.
