Abstract

The article discusses the results of a survey of children's reading in England. The survey, which was conducted by the National Centre for Research in Children's Literature at Roehampton University in 2005, examined issues and institutions including borrowing books from libraries, choosing books to read, reading recommendations, book reviews, school libraries, and classroom book repositories. The author details the potential impact of the survey results on the ways in which schools encourage children to read.
