| Περίληψη: | We have been asking children and young people about reading since 2005. Findings from our surveys show that children and young people's experience of reading, and its place in their lives, has changed considerably over this time, with far fewer children and young people today reporting enjoying reading, and reading frequently, compared with 20 years ago. However, as this report -- based on nearly 60,000 open-ended comments from children and young people on the topic of reading -- shows, engagement with reading is not a simple matter of 'likes' or 'dislikes'. Instead, responses indicate a complex interplay of affect, cognitive factors, habitual behaviour, and supportive social and environmental contexts. For those who are keen readers, these elements come together in strongly positive ways: they feel good about reading, they make reading a regular habit, and they are supported by the people and environments around them. At the other end of the spectrum, averse readers experience these same elements in strongly negative ways, undermining both their confidence and their motivation. Sitting between the two, the group that is ambivalent about reading presents the most complex picture, combining aspects of both extremes. For them, affect, cognition, habitual behaviour and support exert both positive and negative influences, resulting in a mixed and fragile engagement with reading. Together, these findings highlight the need for tailored strategies that respond to the distinct experiences of each group, especially if we are to rebuild a culture of reading for all. |
