The Great Reading Debate- Are High Schoolers Reading Enough??

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) recent published a report (To Read or Not to Read- a whopping 98 pages in length) and the statistics that they discuss can be viewed as disturbing or are they?

Read the blogs that I have read and decide.

Stephen Krashen- His take on the meaning of the findings of the study
John Schaff- What it means for SD
JBD- What this means for education
Ted and Ian- What the study did not take into account

So should the educator, the student, the administrator or the parent put much weigh on this issue? Is America reading less or is what America reading changing?
