Talk with their reading classteachers.周一公布的一份常识性媒体报告显示,青少年和年幼的孩子们为了娱乐而阅读的内容要少得多。尽管过去十年来青少年读者的阅读量急剧下降,但报告中的一些数据显示,阅读仍然是许多儿童生活的重要组成部分,并表明父母可能会帮助鼓励更多的阅读。根据该报告的主要发现,“说他们几乎从不为娱乐而读书的比例从1984年13岁的8%和17岁的9%分别上升到今天的22%和27%。”报告数据显示,年龄在2-8岁的幼儿的快乐阅读水平基本保持不变。但每次阅读所花费的时间已经减少,从接近一个小时或更多减少到接近半小时
28、。在技术和阅读方面,这份报告对那些寻找电子阅读器和平板电脑对阅读影响的数据的父母几乎没有什么帮助。它确实指出,许多家长仍然限制电子阅读,主要是因为担心屏幕时间增加。报告中分享的最有希望的数据表明,有明确的证据表明,父母在孩子阅读方面起到了榜样和重要的指导作用。数据显示,与不经常阅读的孩子相比,经常阅读的孩子和青少年在家里有更多的书,为他们购买更多的书,为他们经常阅读的父母,以及为他们留出阅读时间的父母。随着学校放学时间的临近,学校假期的阅读清单也在眼前隐约可见,家长们可能会借此机会插手制作自己的暑期阅读清单,计划一次去图书馆或书店的家庭旅行。28岁。媒体的常识报道大概是关于什么的?a.儿童阅读
