Children's Reading Habits and their Use of the Media

How much do they read? What do they prefer to read? How do they read?

Abstract

Stories are told in all cultures. And this has been so from the first time humans sought contact with each other. Stories have been a means of creating solidarity and a common context. There are a great variety of genres and forms of expression: myths, fairy tales, and fables. Common to all cultures also is the move from the oral to the written narrative and then later to the modern visual narrative in films, TV, video, and the computer.
