Noteworthy Numbers


saw this in the March ASCD Educational Leadership

66 THE PERCENTAGE OF CHILDREN AGES 9-17 SURVEYED WHO SAY THEY WILL ALWAYS WANT TO READ BOOKS PRINTED ON PAPER, EVEN WHEN E-BOOKS ARE AVAILABLE.


47 THE PERCENTAGE OF CHILDREN SURVEYED WHO CITE "GIVING ME TIME AWAY FROM TECHNOLOGY" AS A REASON THEY READ BOOKS.

91 THE PERCENTAGE OF CHILDREN AGES 6-17 SURVEYED WHO SAY THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO FINISH A BOOK THEY CHOOSE THEMSELVES.

Does what we know reflect in what we do in the classroom?
