A recent study highlights a decline in parents, particularly Gen Z, reading bedtime stories to children, with only 40% enjoying the activity. Researchers attribute this trend to a shift towards digital entertainment among a generation raised with technology. Additionally, educational assessments indicate that many students struggle with basic reading skills, exacerbated by the pandemic's impact on foundational learning. Experts express concern that this shift away from reading could hinder children's enjoyment and development in literacy.
âDespite reading aloud to children being a proven way to boost their enjoyment of reading, the number of parents reading aloud to children is at an all-time low.â
âAs the first generation to grow up with technology, Gen Z parents may turn to digital entertainment for fun rather than books.â
