I. Research has shown that a love of reading is more important for children's educational success than their families' socio-economic status or wealth. Yet, research also shows that young people's enjoyment of reading may be declining.

II. Recently, various studies have explored young people's attitudes towards reading, their reading preferences, and what would motivate them to read more. The datafor one study was based on 1512 pupils from three primary, one middle school and two secondary schools in England who participated in a survey during spring 2005.

III.The majority of pupils enjoyed reading quite a lot or very much; girls were significantly more likely to enjoy reading than boys. Most pupils showed positive attitudes towards reading, with the majority agreeing that reading is fun and important. However, a minority of boys and secondary pupils believed that reading is boring and that they cannot find books that interest them. Boys were also more likely to believe that reading is for girls. Overall, pupils with positive attitudes towards reading tended to enjoy reading more.

IV. Pupils said they enjoy a wide range of reading materials, with magazines, text messages and websites being the most popular. However, there were significant differences in preferred reading materials dependent on age and gender. Girls were more likely to read magazines, fiction, text messages and emails, while boys were more likely to read websites, newspapers, graphic novels and comics. Secondary pupils were significantly more likely to read websites, newspapers and magazines, while primary pupils enjoyed reading jokes, non-fiction books and fiction.

V. Almost half the pupils enjoyed reading fiction. When specifically asked what types of fiction they preferred, adventure, comedy and horror/ghost stories came out as their favourites. Girls were more likely to read romance books, animal-related stories and poetry, while boys were more likely to read science -fiction, comedy and crime/detective stories. Significant age differences also emergedwith primary pupils more likely to read adventure stories, horror/ghost stories and animal-related stories, and secondary pupils more likely to read comedy and realistic teenage fiction.
