Setting the Baseline--Young People's Writing in 2010: Findings from the National Literacy Trust's First Annual Survey 2010
Clark, Christina
National Literacy Trust
There were 18,141 young people aged eight to 17 who participated in this online survey in November and December 2010. While the survey focuses on young people's attitudes towards reading, writing and communication skills as well as technology use, this report centers exclusively on the writing aspect of the survey. More specifically, it explores how much young people enjoy writing, how good a writer they think they are, what they think makes a good writer, what types of genre they write and what they think about writing. (Contains 14 tables and 6 figures.)
