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 who took the reading test were asked how often they read for fun. There
is no data for yearly fun reading in 1994, 1996, and 1999.
2) In general, nine year old students who read for fun at least monthly scored significantly higher than nine year olds who
reported reading for fun only yearly or never.
3) Significant improvement in reading scores in 2004 over prior years for all frequencies of reading for fun.
