Comma FANBOYS Review

For iGen, books, newspapers, and magazines have less and less of a presence in their daily lives.

12th graders said they did not read any books for pleasure in the last year, because they didn’t have any time.

Reading books, and longer articles is a good way to learn how to think critically and separate fact from fiction.

Online time has doubled since 2006, for social media use moved from a periodic activity to a daily one.

Imagine going from reading two sentence captions to trying to read an 800-page college textbook, and having 5 books!

Teens didn’t always spend time with digital media nearly 9 out of 10 12th-grade girls said they used media every day.

When we look at pleasure reading across time, iGen is reading less than previous generations, because of social media.

Most spend much more time with digital media than we did a decade ago today’s teens have come of age with smartphones.

Should we take away smartphones from iGen’s hands, and replace them with paper books?

SAT reading scores in 2016 were the lowest they have been this doesn’t sit well for scholars’ transition to college.

Time spent playing video games rose from under an hour a day to an hour, and a half on average.

We analyzed surveys of over one million U.S. teens, and discovered a shift in how teens are spending their free time.

70% of 8th and 10th graders once went to the movies once a month or more, only about half do now.

Teens are still reading they’re reading short texts and Instagram captions they’re not reading long articles. (2)
