20 anni di NpL, come sono cambiate le pratiche di lettura in famiglia in Italia

Abstract

Available data regarding the implementation and main outcomes of the Nati per Leggere program in Italy over twenty years are described, based on the findings of both surveys conducted by the program and studies made by a variety of institutions. The extension of the program in all regions has strongly increased, although still with a more favourable trend in the North and Centre of the country with respect to the South, and has paralleled an increase in the proportion of children who are exposed to shared reading early in their families at least four times per week, and a dramatic decrease of those who are not exposed from 46 to 10.9%. The gap in exposure to shared reading in children from low educated mothers is also substantially smaller.
