Noteworthy:

>Only about one in three (34.6%) children and young people aged eight to 18 said they enjoyed reading in their free time in 2024, down from 43.4% the previous year, according to the research.

>This marks the steepest decline since the charity began its annual survey in 2005.

Crisis? Yes. But will they stop showering the children with gadgets? No.
