太少家長和孩子一起閱讀，這將傷害孩子的教育。
一份最近的英國研究指出，父母沒有花足夠的時間陪年幼的孩子閱讀，專家說這將影響孩子的教育。由皮爾森出版社所委託的調查中，約2,000名父母被問到關於孩子的閱讀習慣。大約10%的受訪者表示，他們和孩子一起閱讀的次數六個月不到一次。
教育專家宣稱，提升孩童閱讀和寫作技巧最好的方法，就是幫助他們發展對閱讀的喜愛。他們補充，即便是很年幼的孩子也能從與書本為伍中獲益，因為他們能看書中圖片，聽人講解故事，或僅只是聽聽字詞的念法。
多數受訪家長也說，比起閱讀，他們的孩子花更多時間在電視機或電腦螢幕前。有人憂心這樣的習慣將損害孩子的注意力，看來老師們似乎確信這樣的事正在發生。作為研究的一部分，老師被問到學生的注意力是否比以前還要短，約75%的人說是。
(Education) Study Reveals Worrying Reading Habits
Not enough parents are reading with their children, which could damage their education.
A recent UK study suggests that parents are not spending enough time reading with their young children, and experts say that will affect their education. For the survey, which was commissioned by the publishers Pearson, about 2,000 parents were asked about their childrens reading habits. Around 10% said they read with their children less than once every six months.
Education experts have claimed that the best way to improve a childs reading and writing skills is to help them develop a love of reading. They add that even very small children can benefit from time with books, as they can look at the pictures, have the story explained to them, or simply listen to the sound of the words.
Most of the parents questioned also said their children spend far more time in front of a TV or computer screen than reading. There are worries that such habits will damage childrens attention spans, and certainly teachers seem to believe that this is happening. As part of the study, teachers were asked if students attention spans are shorter now than they used to be, and around 75% said yes.
