The Hidden Reason Your Kids Aren't Reading More
Here's a startling fact: 91% of kids say their favorite book was one they chose themselves.
That's according to the Scholastic The Kids & Family Reading Report: Fifth Edition
This makes perfect sense - we all prefer having control over what we read.
But there's a problem.
A full 73% of children admit they would read more if they could just find books they actually liked.
Even more concerning? Nearly half of kids (45%) say it's hard to find a good book.
Kids Are Frustrated with Choosing Books
This creates a frustrating paradox: Kids read more when they choose their own books.
But they're struggling to find books they want to read--so they read less, despite wanting to read more.
As a parent or teacher, you see this play out every day. Maybe you've watched your child pick up and put down book after book. Or perhaps you've seen students stare blankly at shelves full of options, unable to make a choice.The good news? There's a solution.
