Study: Americans are Reading Less
The National Endowment for the Arts released their study last November, To Read or Not to Read. They cite startling statistics about how time spent reading is on the decline (most significantly among 15 to 24-year-olds, but also among older adults as well). In fact, there was a decline in every age group studied.While good reading and writing skills are of the utmost importance, this study provides more reason to explore new media technologies as additional pedagogical tools to enhance learning for today’s busy, mobile, networked learners.
