I agree with you. Really, teens have other means of entertainment these days, but we can see that lots of them still read. You find young youtubers who dedicate their channels to talk about books which is something different from the other youtubers who only talk about makeup and games.Lon Dee wrote: ↑03 Mar 2012, 11:00 Generally speaking, I think most teens read less than in "the old days". But I think there is still a lot of reading going on. Author Obert Skye was giving a small presentation at my son's elementary school yesterday in conjunction with National Reading Week. My wife and I stopped by to watch, and the kids were extremely excited to meet him in person. Many of the kids brought bags full of his books for him to autograph. When my junior high aged daughter heard about this, she got very jealous and asked some amusing questions, "What did he look like?" "What does he sound like?".
So, yes, I think there is still plenty of reading going on.
Do today's teens read less or more?
