New study shows that the more frequently children read books at age ten to 11, the better they performed in school tests at age 13 to 14. FMTNews FMTlifestyle Reading
Children who read books every day may perform better at school, according to new research.
The questionnaires asked the children about what they read , how much time they spent reading, their attitudes towards school, and their achievement levels in school. More specifically, the pupils who enjoy reading high-quality books every day or nearly every day scored higher by an average of 0.22 points overall on literacy tests than those who read books almost never, which the researchers say is the equivalent of three months’ worth of additional secondary school academic growth.
However, the researchers found no benefit when children read newspapers, comics or magazines on a daily basis and only a small benefit from reading short stories.
