Enjoyment and confidence of reading at ages 9 & 11



In 2007 the NFER have repeated a similar questionnaire ran in 2003 asking a representative sample of students at ages 9 & 11 their enjoyment and confidence towards reading.

Key findings:
- There was no overall change in enjoyment or confidence between 2003-07
- Enjoyment of reading poems declines whilst enjoyment of reading comic books increased.
- Enjoyment of reading declines between the ages of 9 and 11.
- Overall girls enjoy reading more than boys.
