First: I wanna clarify this. I know that loads of people read like 100 books a year, or read all the time. I know these people exist. I’m asking about people that are like… average. An average american who just… reads. Doesn’t track everything or sets goals of like 100, or never stops reading… Anyway, I’ve been searching this up, and i find answers like 15-50, even 100. I find this highly unlikely, especially for average US citizens. Half the people i know don’t even pick up 5 books a year, let alone 15! I just don’t believe these stats. I read somewhere that people read 8 a month on average? That can’t be right for an average person. That’s like 2 books a week… I know people do read this much, but still… For an average person? So be real… how many books do people actually read a year?
Yeah but the survey was asking if their parents read to them when they were younger otherwise yeah my mom didn’t read to me much then she read to me some when i was younger but not much
Ah I missed that detail, but I wonder how many said no because they just don’t remember? I don’t remember much from when I was young enough not to be able to read. I can’t remember my parents reading aloud to me at all, but they told me they did and there’s pictures in family albums.
Right i was gonna say not cause from around 4 up i don’t remember my mom reading but i know i had her reading stellaluna over and over till her brain went to mush so she definitely did at some point
