I haven't read it yet vs I don't read it yet

The correct phrase is 'I haven't read it yet.' The use of 'haven't' indicates that the action of reading has not occurred up to the present moment. On the other hand, 'I don't read it yet' is incorrect because 'don't' is used for general habits or routines, not for specific actions that have not happened yet.
