Those rates are pretty telling and while teachers are already sharing about the impact the pandemic had on education the real REAL impact will be seen in about 10 years when the pinnacle of these school age children are entering adulthood.
Also I didn’t know Firefly Lane was a book. I really enjoy the Netflix show.
Isabel you are correct to make emphasis in reading, reading anything, when I was a child I used to read comic books, to me it was so incredibly fun, that lead to other books as I advance to high school, I remember a teacher always telling us to read, but only I did. I think we can see the consequences in the society in general, they say that reading is boring, violence and sex in the movies has become the norm, make money fast and without any effort, simply put, people refuse to think, to be creative, and those who do are the ones who read.

I completely agree. I’m worried about that, honestly!
And I have yet to watch the show or read the book - wild!

Reading is so important! I think kids associate with school growing up which makes them not view reading in a positive light.
Yes - read read read. And read to children. It’s so important for them and it will make their lives better
100%!!!
Thank you for bringing light into this topic. All writers should be advocating for more book reading these days within their work!
Thank you so much! I completely agree.
