Does your kid read a lot? A new study suggests they’re likely happier, more physically active, have a more active imagination and even problem-solve better than kids that rarely or never read.
The poll of 1,500 American parents and 500 K–6 teachers revealed 91% of children aged 5 – 12 who are avid readers are also happier than those who don’t (36%). Likewise, 92% who read frequently are more physically active than those who don’t (40%).
Kids who read “often” and “very often” generally have a more active imagination than those who rarely or never read (95%, compared to 57%).
