Kids & Reading• A majority of kids say they like to read books for fun

and that reading books for fun is important.

• Most kids perceive a correlation between reading and success.

Page 6: StoryTubes Presentation - ALA 2011

Kids & Reading• Reading frequency declines after age eight and is

stronger among girls than boys.

• Trouble finding books they like is a key reason kids say they do not read more frequently.

Technology & Reading

• Kids believe that technology will complement — not replace — book reading.

• After age eight, more childrengo online daily than read for fun daily; however, high frequency Internet users are still more likely than lower frequency users toread books for fun every day.

Nearly two in three online tweens and teens (age 9-17) have extended the reading experience via the Internet. These kids are more likely to value and enjoy reading, read more frequently, and agree with the statement: “No matter what I can do online, I’ll always want to read books printed on paper.”
