SURVEY FINDS TEENAGERS ENJOY READING, BUT LACK TIME
Teenagers enjoy reading for fun and would read more if they had time. That was among the findings of a recent online survey by SmartGirl.com and the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA . A total of 3,072 young adults ages 11-18 responded, including 59 per cent girls and 41 per cent boys.
Seventy-two per cent of the respondents said they read for fun when they have the time. S1 pet cunt of .girls and 62 per cent of boys said they would read more J if they had the time.
Among their favourite books during the past year were literary classics such as To Kill a Mockingbird and The Catcher in the Rye; Stephen King best-sellers; and the popular Harry Potter series. Mysteries were cited as the most popular type of books among teens followed by adventure, horror and true stories.
When kids are not reading books, they say they are reading^magazines (more than 66 per cent , newspapers (59 per cent) and even the back of cereal boxes (48 per cent . Seventy-seven per cent of teen girls reported reading teen magazines dedicated to fashion and beauty. Nearly half of the boys surveyed read magazines about video games, while 24 per cent read computer/electronics manuals.
"We are thrilled to see that teens are reading — and not just for homework assignments," says Jana Fine, YALSA President. "However, the survey also makes it clear that having time to read for fun is a critical factor. Nearly half the surveyed said they did not have much time to read for enjoyment."
The survey found that teenagers are regularly encouraged to read and 80 per cent were read aloud..^ to as children either "sometimes" or "all the time". Girls showed more enthusiasm and interest in reading for fun (50 percent) than boys (31 percent , who said they were more likely to read to learn.
Jana Fine noted that 36 per cent of girls and 24 per cent of boys reported talking to their friends about books. The number was even lower for talking to parents about reading, 15 and 12 per cent respectively. Research shows that talking about books is linked with higher reading scores.
