The National Literacy Trust once did some research (调查) on reading. About  32,000 children from different schools in the UK answered the questions from it. These children are aged from 8 to 18.

The research shows that children in the UK are reading less in their free time. Just over a quarter of the students said they read outside school. About the same number said their parents didn't feel that reading was important. Half of those students said they enjoyed reading "very much" or "quite a lot". About two in five thought reading was "cool", but about one in three said they only read when they had to.

Jonathan Douglas from the National Literacy Trust said, "Our research not only shows that children are reading less and having negative attitudes(消极的态度) to reading but also shows the relationship (关系) between this and their performance(表现) in reading tests.”

The research also finds that many children in the UK like to read e-books outside school. The percentage in 2014 was about 6% and it grew to 12% in 2015.

In today's world, there are so many activities for children to do. But if they sit down and do some reading, they will find reading is really interesting and useful.
