Harry Potter and The Hunger Games haven’t been big hits for nothing．Lots of teens and adolescents still read quite a lot．But a study shows a clear decline over time．Nearly half of 17-year-olds say they read for pleasure no more than one or two times a year，and that’s way down from a decade ago． The digital revolution means there are more platforms than ever to read on．Jim Steyer has been studying the effect of technology on children，and he finds the results striking．Steyer has four kids and has seen the trend most with his 16-year-old． “I start to see it in our 10-year-old，because he is less and less reading，and more and more attracted to some of the digital media platforms that he has access to．”he says． Researchers want to know more about how teens are spending their time in the digital age．But Kathryn Zickuhr of the Pew Research Center says it’s tricky．If a kid is looking at a book，you can assume he or she is reading．But when it comes to looking at a smartphone or tablet，who knows? “We’ve heard from middle and high school teachers that sometimes the Internet is wonderful for highly motivated students to do deep and expansive research，”says Zickuhr．“But on the other hand，obviously there are many distractions(干扰)on the Internet．”    “Despite those distractions，parents can do a lot to promote reading．Kids with parents who read，who buy or take books out of the library for their kids，and who then set time aside in their kids’daily schedule for reading，tend to read the most，whether it’s on a book，an e-book or some other devices．”Jim Steyer says． 29．What does Jim Steyer see in his four kids?
