Brit kids read more
The Independent reports that more British 11-year-olds say that they like reading more than watching TV than they did four years ago. A telling sentence in the story:
The report, published to coincide with World Book Day, concludes there can be “cautious optimism” over the survey’s findings and says that government encouragement of more flexibility and creativity in the curriculum could have helped foster more of a love of reading.

It would be interesting to see how the attitude of American children toward reading has changed over the same time period. Is our curriculum fostering a love of reading?
