New Study Reveals the Reading Habits and Attitudes of Children and Families
In American Homes Today

Findings Show that the Harry Potter Series Has a Positive Impact on Kids' Reading and Their School Work 

Yankelovich, a leader in consumer research and trends, and Scholastic, the global children’s publishing, education and media company, unveil for the first time, the results of The Kids and Family Reading Report™. While studies have investigated how kids spend their time outside of school, this is the first to reveal some surprising insights about why kids and their parents do or don’t read, and how the power of one book, Harry Potter, can impact kids' reading and school work. This is a national survey of kids 5-17 years old and one parent or primary guardian.
