“Evidence shows that children who read for fun not only read more but also increase their reading skills more rapidly, feel more confident and go on to read more. It’s this intrinsic motivation that provides the magic ingredient in the recipe of creating readers. It’s the sense of enjoyment that distinguishes a skilled reader from a child who will go on to read for enjoyment throughout their life,” writes Cassie Chadderton, Chief Executive Officer, (CEO), World Book Day, in the foreword of the recently published report by Renaissance Learning.

Titled, What and How Kids Are Reading (2022 edition), the report throws light on topics like what books kids are reading often, how kids are reading, and more; helping experts and adults understand the book-reading behaviours of children.

Since 1986, Renaissance Learning’s mission has remained to accelerate learning for all children and adults of all ability levels and ethnic and social backgrounds, worldwide.
