A survey was conducted to learn about students' reading habits. Over 100 students were asked three
questions. The results of the survey are as follows.
When asked how often they read, 41% of the students said they read every day. Another 38%
reported reading once or twice a week, and 21% indicated that they hardly ever read at all. Next, the
students were asked what type of books they prefer to read. 41% said that fiction is their favorite genre
for reading, with preferences for adventure, fantasy, and romance novels. 32% stated that non-fiction is
more preferred and 27% chose textbooks as their top pick.
Finally, when asked where they like to read, 58% said that libraries are their favorite places for
reading. 22% chose their bedrooms as the most comfortable spot which allows them to read and 20%
reported studying in cafés as their preference. Overall, it is clear that students enjoy reading regularly and
enjoy a variety of content when doing so.
