Book Worms - Good choice of books helps maintain children's interest

A decent choice of books is vital to get children reading, a study by the National Literacy Trust has found.

The Interesting Choice study examined the effect of choice on children's reading and found books that were interesting to a child were more likely to be read regardless of whether the text was challenging or not. The trust said the findings back up its WHSmith Summer Read project, where children in disadvantaged areas are given a choice of books to read over the summer at a number of events. www.cypnow.co.uk/doc.
