Video games【S4】______problem solving skills; TV shows promote mental gymnastics by【S5】______viewers to follow complex story lines. But books offer experience that can’t be gained from these other sources, from【S6】______vocabulary to stretching the imagination. “If they’re not reading at all,” says Johnson,“that’s a huge problem.”In fact, fewer kids are reading for pleasure. According to data【S7】______last week from the National Centre for Educational Statistic’s long-term trend assessment, the number of 17-year-olds who reported never or hardly ever reading for fun【S8】______from 9 percent in 1984 to 19 percent in 2004.

This slow but steady retreat from books has not yet taken a toll on reading ability. Scores for the nation’s youth have【S10】______constant over the past two decades(with an encouraging upswing among 9-year-olds). But given the strong apparent correlation between pleasure reading and reading skills, this means poorly for the future.
