Over the years there has been a noticeable decline in kids reading books, and spending more time on their phones. "Fewer Americans are opening a book for fun each day, with reading for pleasure in the United States down 40% over the past 20 years, a new study finds." this quote from Dr. Raihan El-Naas, shows how there is a significant percent less reading then there was 20 years ago. This study made and effort to also show how lower income Americans are more effected by this, due to the lack of resources.
This is a big blow to the public school systems and America in general. This is because with the less reading it takes a toll on other things like well being, and literacy. there is a lot of good that reading provides, studies show that even 10 minutes of reading a day can improve well being.
