Abstract
There is a common view that “kids these days” don’t read as much as they used to. This view is so firmly held that discussion nearly always focuses on why children don’t read, assuming that the decline in reading is real. For example, in a Good Reads blog, Lynette Sofras asked “Why don’t children read anymore?” 1 Contributors gave a number of reasons such as poor quality of literature written for young people, lack of discipline, the Internet, and force feeding classics to children.
