Recent research from BookTrust indicates a decline in children’s reading enjoyment as they grow older, with only 25% of ten-year-olds enjoying reading compared to 33% of seven-year-olds. Additionally, a study by Coram shows that only 7% of primary school children view reading as their favorite leisure activity. Reading is important for vocabulary, critical thinking, and even mental health, as the National Literacy Trust notes that less engaged children are more likely to have low mental well-being. The author emphasizes the importance of finding books that children genuinely enjoy, including comics and audiobooks, to foster a love for reading. They recommend popular titles for kids aged 7 to 11, highlighting the comic series “Bunny vs Monkey” by Jamie Smart as a fun option.
