| Abstract: | The article discusses the significant decline in reading habits among college and university students, highlighting the challenges educators face in fostering a love for reading in an age dominated by digital media. A 2020 study from the National Endowment for the Arts revealed that over 48% of young adults identify as nonreaders, with only 14% reading for pleasure daily. Factors contributing to this decline include shorter attention spans, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on learning engagement, and educational policies like the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), which prioritize nonfiction over literature. The article emphasizes the urgent need for educators to adapt their teaching strategies to encourage deeper engagement with texts and to demonstrate the cognitive and societal benefits of reading.
