Reading 2
Crispin is 16. He likes sport and he's good at school. He likes
studying languages but... he's never read a whole book.
Is it possible? Certainly. Crispin is only one of the young people, who, according to
surveys by educational experts, have never managed to go through a book from
beginning to end.
Let's get this clear: Crispin and his friends aren't stupid or ignorant. They know how
to read perfectly well and they've read a good number of short pieces: stories, fables,
cartoons and teenage magazine articles but the pleasure of reading has never
motivated them to choose a book and read the whole of it.
Crispin's case worries a lot of adults: parents and teachers, but also children's writers
and editors.
The number of young people who aren't reading is increasing. Even though they've
got interesting books at home suitable for their age group and school libraries full of
possibilities.
Why do children today read so little?
There are a lot of reasons. Some say television is to blame as it offers attractive
programmes which don't require the "effort" of reading. For others it's the fault of
schools which don't teach children to appreciate literature and its wonders.
It's becoming easier all the time to meet children who know how to use computers or
consult video encyclopedias, but who don't know how to appreciate the fascination of
reading. One children's writer says: "At the age of 7, I read a whole book alone for
the first time. For me it was a great victory. I discovered that the words and signs on
the pages became a real, exciting story in my head. For me it was as good as winning
a hard basketball match."
Perhaps Crispin and his friends read so little because they've never really tried hard to
do it.
What's the reason, in your opinion, that young people today read so little?
