A Study of the Recreational Book Reading Habits of Selected Fifth-Grade Children

Abstract

dc:description

Purpose of the Study. The purpose of this study was to identify and select pupils from a fifth-grade sample who were frequent book readers and pupils who were infrequent book readers and to determine if any differences exist between these two groups in terms of sex, attitude toward reading, and reading achievement. A selected number of these pupils were interviewed to determine their expressed motivations for reading or for not reading books for recreation.
