10 Haziran 2026BBC News

A recent report from a literacy charity reveals that over one in three children and teenagers now express a liking for reading in their free time. This marks the first significant increase in reading enjoyment among this demographic in five years.
The findings suggest a positive shift in attitudes towards reading, potentially influenced by various initiatives promoting literacy.
Reading has been a crucial skill linked to academic success and personal development. The decline in reading interest among young people over the past years raised concerns among educators and parents alike.
The increase in reading enjoyment among children and teenagers is a promising development, particularly in a digital age where screen time often overshadows traditional reading.
