The Role of Children's Reading in the Globalized Information Society
„The report talks about the necessary context of children’s motivation toward proper reading abilities and habits. Firstly, it refers to the importance of reading skills and literacy in today’s society. Secondly, we talk about the role of family and its cultural and socio-economic characteristics. The last part refers to sociological research conducted in the Czech Republic last year by Gabal, Analysis & Consulting, focused on children ages 10 to 14 as well as their parents. The results bring specific information about today’s Czech children reading in context of the role of family background, children’s free time activities and school involvement,“ uvádí abstrakt textu Lenky Václavíkové Helšusové, který vyšel v publikaci Key Contexts for Education and Democracy in Globalising Societies (Ruzicka, Richard – Ballantine, Jeanne – Ruiz San Roman, José.
