Do kids have better taste in books than their parents?
Over half of parents admit their child is more well-read than them, according to a recent study. And kids agree: Six in 10 kids (59%) confirmed that they do, in fact, have better taste in books than their parents. A recent poll of 2,000 American parents and their kids, aged 8-17, investigated sentiments around reading habits, popular and classic books, summer reading assignments and why parents weren’t too shy to divulge their kids’ impressive reading accomplishments when admitting their child is more well-read (51%). According to the survey,commissioned by ThriftBooks for Children’s Book Week and conducted by OnePoll, parents conceded that their children are better readers because their child reads more books than they do (70%) and their child remembers more of what they read (27%).
