NEA reports decline in reading. A new research report from the National Endowment for the Arts finds a dramatic decline in book reading by U.S. adults. The steepest drop over the last decade was for the youngest adults (18-24). A 60-page pdf of Reading at Risk: A Survey of Literary Reading in America is available here, and the NEA's press release is here. [LISNews.com]
One of my sons pointed out the New York Times article about this report to me and commented on how sad it is. It's really very frightening because of what I believe are the implications for the ability of our young people to think criticially and creatively.
