In recent years, the frequency of reading for pleasure has declined, particularly among children. Unfortunately, this has had dramatic negative effects on people’s well-being, depression symptoms, empathy, and relationship quality with others. Beyond these social and emotional benefits of pleasure reading, the activity has also been linked to academic performance.
In a study from 2016, researchers examined the reading habits of high school juniors in Southeast Texas. Based on this review, it was found that students who enjoyed reading for larger amounts of time enjoyed better test scores in mathematics, English, history, and science than peers who did not enjoy reading.
Beyond that, the American Library Association found that students in elementary school scored higher on reading achievement tests when they read outside of school, and reading comprehension and vocabulary growth is higher among elementary and primary students who read.
Similar findings were also noted in research analyses from the United Kingdom, which found that those who read more had more self-confidence as readers, better text comprehension, and improved grammar.
