Research Assistance

[Adekunle, Paul Adesola]

Can somebody assist me with materials on students reading habits in the face of the onslaught of ICT?

Hi Paul,

Do you mean young children? Primary?

These articles should be relevant :

Reading for pleasure?: A summary of the findings from a survey of the reading habits of year 5 pupils http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a714023008~db=all

Hope that helps.

Hi Katie,

Thanks a million for your assistance.The articles would have been of tremendous help but for the fact that two of them attract subscription charges before they can be assessed. But with that I still found the remaining articles of immense benefit.Meanwhile, I can still do with more especially those that border on undergraduate students.

Once again, I appreciate the timely and relevant information you supplied.

Glad it was helpful!

Take a look at this one too, which is specific to Nigeria. And the references list at the bottom should point you in the right direction for more information.

This is interesting too, and free to view.
