United States continues to show drop off in levels of readers in the past two decades. The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) reports a general decline among teenage and adult readers. One cannot deny the increase in electronic media and devices are competing for the printed word. The association commented –
50% of Americans between 18 and 24 are not reading books for pleasure; less than one third of the 13 year olds are daily readers; and 15 to 24 year olds spend only 7 – 10 minutes per day on voluntary reading (same group watches over 2 hours of TV/day).
Consider a book, or a gift certificate from a website such as Paper.com for writing or stationery paper this Christmas. Help reverse this trend.
