More on that High-Schoolers-are-Reading-at-a-Fifth-Grade-Level reading report.

From The Hub:

It shows that the number of words students read peaks in 6th grade and remains relatively stable through 8th grade. Yet starting in 9th grade, when students traditionally enter high school, that number drops significantly by more than 100,000 words a year and remains at that lower level through 12th grade.

Someone pointed out, in the comments section, that high school students are REALLY, REALLY BUSY PEOPLE, which could have a serious affect on reading time, and someone else pointed out that the study doesn't take online reading, magazines, etc., into account.

Regardless, click on through for more graphs!
