39 Percent of Children Ages 9 to 17 Said the Information They Found Online Was “Always Correct.”

But don't despair just yet. The good news is that:

Many children want to read books on digital devices and would read for fun more frequently if they could obtain e-books...

Milton Chen, a senior fellow at the George Lucas Educational Foundation, said the report made the case that children want to read on new digital platforms.

“The very same device that is used for socializing and texting and staying in touch with their friends can also be turned for another purpose,” Mr. Chen said. “That’s the hope.”

Keep on hoping, Mr. Chen. Lotsa luck with that.
