So What?
1) The U.S. Department of Education selected data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in 1984,
1994, 1996, 1999, and 2004. Nine year old students were asked how often they read for fun.
2) Happily, the vast majority (over 53%) of nine year olds report daily reading for fun. This has stayed relatively constant over
time.
3) Approximately 26% to 27% of nine year olds report weekly reading for fun. This also has stayed relatively constant over time.
4) Sadly, approximately 8% to 10% of nine year olds report never reading for fun. Again, these numbers have stayed relatively
constant over time.
