Resultas and conclusion: What do the desire to read and reading habits look like in third grade , in Aland primary schools? A majority of the students have a good desire to read and reading habits. Aland pupils in third grade have a generally good to moderately good desire to read and reading habits. How do differences between girls' and boys' reading show up? According to the answers, you can see that girls like reading a little more, like reading aloud to a greater extent than boys, and to a greater extent they have an adult at home who reads to them. Girls also prefer regular books over audiobooks. Boys have a smaller proportion of adults reading to them. However, most of the pupils enjoy reading. The majority of boys appreciate reading aloud, but to a lesser extent than girls, and many more boys than girls choose audiobooks over regular books. Neither group considers themselves to have difficulty with reading. Do the students think that the environment encourages reading? The girls are more likely to say that they feel that the environment (the school and an adult at home) supports and encourages reading. Boys consider to a significantly lesser extent that school and home encourage and support reading. Among the boys, there are also many who do not believe that any adult at home encourages reading. The environment, if you look at it from the perspective of screen time, shows that most students in year three do not think that screen time destroys reading.
