Part 6/8:
Academics have raised alarms about a noticeable decline in young individuals’ interest in literature. Recent statistics indicate that the enjoyment of reading among 8 to 18-year-olds has dropped significantly, with a reported 25% fewer children reading daily than in previous years.
This cultural shift is attributed to various factors, including the rise of digital entertainment and educational pressures, which contribute to declining engagement with classic literature and traditional reading for pleasure.
