Despite the accessibility of e-books, most readers aged 8-17 don\u2019t use their smartphones and tablets to read, preferring print books.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not all good news, however, since the research also showed that the proportion of readers aged 0-17 had dropped by another percentage point. Percentages are dropping fastest in boys aged 8-10. (At the same time, though, those considered \u201cfrequent\u201d readers are actually reading more per week.)<\/p>\n<p>Instead of reading, children aged 3-10 are increasingly turning toward online activities, such as YouTube and computer games. Watching TV on mobile devices is another popular activity, which increased by 13%(!) points in 2015 over 2014 as a weekly activity among 0-17 year olds.<\/p>\n<p>The research also split up UK readers into four groups: the \u201cSuperfans\u201d, the \u201cDistractibles\u201d, the \u201cPotentials\u201d and the \u201cAntis\u201d. The latter group tend to be male (aged 14-17) and don\u2019t like reading at all, preferring to use YouTube, social media and texting instead. The \u201cSuperfans\u201d, on the other hand, are more likely to be female and love reading. The \u201cPotentials\u201d are the largest group; they enjoy reading but only occasionally. Finally, the \u201cDistractibles\u201d are mostly male, who enjoy some reading, but still prefer the internet and physical activities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source<\/strong> : Henry, Jo &#8220;Changes in the children\u2019s and YA book market.&#8221; <em>London Show Daily<\/em>, April 2016, 14<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Changes in the children\u2019s and YA book market According to &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5446,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1925],"tags":[1929,71,426,938,290],"class_list":["post-5445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","tag-articles","tag-education","tag-learning","tag-resources","tag-teaching","cat_1925"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5445"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5445\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5447,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5445\/revisions\/5447"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishbookgeorgia.com\/blogebg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
