ABOUT: KIDS & FAMILY READING REPORT™: 6th Edition

For 10 years, this nationally representative research from Scholastic has surveyed kids ages 6–17 and their parents (with an additional sample of parents with children ages 0–5) to gather data regarding attitudes and behaviors on reading books for fun.

This year, key findings include the growth of reading aloud to young children, inequities around access to books, a look atdiversity in children’s books, and a focus on reading attitudes and behaviors of African-American and Hispanic families as well as parents’ list of books/series every child should read, kids’ favorite books, and summer reading.
