Abstract

A study was ma de of the reading habits among 15 - 18 years olds. There was a clear ditterence between boys and girts in terms of the desire to read and reading preferences. The cultural environment appeared to be of little importance, but being told stories when young had a strong influence on reading habits. Different reading preferences between boys and girls may be an important consideration for teachers wishing
to increase reading motivation of teenagers.
