According to the U.S. Department of Education, almost half (46%) of American 4th
graders read for fun almost every day, and nearly three quarters read at least
one to two times a week. Just 15
percent read never, or hardly ever.
8th graders on the other hand, read markedly less. Almost one in three (29%) report never
or hardly ever reading, and just 21 percent read for fun almost every day. Female 8th
graders read far more than male 8th graders, with nearly a quarter
reading every day compared to 40 percent of males. 4th grade girls are also more likely to read
frequently than boys.
