Resumen
This article empirically measures the real repercussions of specific mediating factors on child and young adult reading habits, particularly those associated with two decisive environments: educational and family. It was compiled from a careful analysis of a rigorous in-house study on reading habits and tendencies. The goal is to study whether the children or young adults’ proclivity towards reading responds to occasional factors that affect it directly and in isolation, or whether the regularity of indicators that end up shifting the balance towards taking pleasure in books ends up being complex and lasting. That is, whether or not the proper fostering of certain strategies is what causes an individual in their formative years to acquire a lasting appetite for reading.
