This chart was found on the National Institute for Literacy website under "Facts and Statistics." It relates reading scores of 9-, 13-, and 17-year-old students to the frequency with which they read for fun. As this site is dedicated to motivating student readers, charts that provide information about the most vulnerable ages when children stop reading for fun are a necessary addition.
