15．Reading for pleasure is declining among primary-age pupils，and increasing numbers of"time poor"parents are dropping the practice of sharing bedtime stories with their children once they start school．
Research presented to a conference last week found that，while parents read to preschoolers，this later tails off，and by the final year of primary school only around 2%  read to their children every day．Once children can read skillfully，parents tend to step back，and this usually happens at the age of seven or eight．The report also found that 820-/o of teachers blame the government's"target-．driven"education policies for the fact that fewer children are reading for pleasure．
They believe that a straitjacket （束缚） of strictly organized schooling is containing young people's ability to read more widely．Two-thirds of teachers surveyed said they lacked time in the school day to introduce a variety of books and that this was a"major obstacle to being able to develop a level of reading"．Teachers also cited as main factors the reduction in the number of  school librarians，who could put interesting books before children，and the rise in"screen time"，switching children from reading to playing games．
The majority of teachers said the curriculum's  （课程）"emphasis on reading as a skill to be  mastered"was increasing the pressure．This was compounded by parents who saw reading just as a  focus of learning，a skill critical to career advancement in a competitive world．
Reading habits and the digital revolution in publishing were key topics of debate at the  conference．The theme of the lack of British culture was supported by children's writer Frank Cottrell   Boyce，who wrote the scripts（手稿） for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2012Olympics．
"We discovered the whole nation had forgotten that  they did  the industrial  revolution，"he said．
"Books are so central  to it；  books can  be written  by anyone．A  lot of the pleasure of a  book  is   listening to somebody read it to you．"
"We found a real love of reading al110ng teachers，and a strong desire，to encourage more  children to read for pleasure，"said Rob Cheney，"However，the teachers also had an overpowering sense of frustration with their situation．""Touch-screen phone and tablets （平板电脑）are naturally attractive to children，"the survey Said，and predicted a period of awkwardness as everyone else adapts．By 2018，children's television will  have adopted  the presence of this second screen，and it"will be strange not to have children，at home drawing along on tablets and then having these appearing live in the show"．
The hope is"that user-friendly screens could，if material is adapted and downloaded easily，present an opportunity for more ambitious publishing-for example，books children can either read or choose to have read to them； or digital books with moving pictures instead of photos to clarify factual and scientific points．Parental controls that are easy to use would be key，the conference was told，such as"a warning for when devices use the Wi-Fi，especially after bedtimes"，to allow parents to shut off access to children in the home．
