Books may soon go extinct

According to a recent study children are reading less and less. In 2019 just 26% of under-18s spent some time each day reading. This is the lowest level recorded since the National Literacy Trust's first reading survey in 2005.

While previous generations devoured works such as Charlotte’s Web, Winnie the Pooh, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and later the Harry Potter books, the survey shows that fewer children enjoy reading nowadays.

The decrease in reading activities is worrisome, as reading has proved to have many benefits.
