Abstract	The teaching and learning of map reading and interpretation at senior secondary school level in Nigeria is now at lower ebb. Teachers seem to scarcely and scantly teach it and students seem to be seriously scared of it. Studies, personal encounter and Chief examiners reports of West African Examination Council have shown that students' performance in map reading is rather growing worse every year. This paper, based on empirical evidences, identifies causes for students' hatred and failure in map reading, and proffers solutions to them. (As Provided).
