A LEITURA PERDE PARA A TELEVISÃO

Os livros estão em queda e a televisão em alta. Apenas um em cada três pais lê para os filhos. Os dados são de um recente inquérito da Booktrust.

“Fresh evidence has shown that the decline in parents reading aloud to their children has deepened over the past two years, with busy lives, dinner and TV all getting in the way of a story at bedtime."

"A survey of more than 1,500 parents by books charity Booktrust found that only one in three parents are reading to their children daily, down from 43% two years ago. The average four to five-year-old spends twice as long watching TV every week as they do reading with their parents, while secondary school starters spend more time doing their chores (46 minutes) than reading with their parents (41 minutes). The average 11 to 12-year-old is in front of the television for 8 and a half hours a week, surfing the internet for four hours 14 minutes and reading alone for only three hours 19 minutes, Booktrust found.”
