Special Needs
Enjoyment of reading
The National Literacy Trust
undertook their first annual
survey into young people’s
reading in late 2010. Some
18,141 young people aged 8 to
17 participated in the survey
which focused on their attitudes
towards reading, writing,
communication skills as well
as technology use. This latest
publication from the study
explored perceptions of how
much young people enjoy
reading, how good they think
they are as readers, how often
they read and how long for,
what types of materials they
read outside of class, how many
books they read and how many
books they have in the home,
and how they feel about reading.
