The New York Times recently published a story based on research done by Scholastic, INC. The study showed that digital reading (i.e. e-books) was on the rise, while children claiming to be "frequent readers" was declining.
"The latest study, the Kids and Family Reading Report, conducted with Harrison Group, showed both the advantages and the drawbacks of the digital age when it comes to encouraging reading among young people.
