Many students are arriving at college unprepared to read entire books, highlighting a troubling shift in engagement with literature and reading culture over the past decade.
Professors noted a generational change in how students engage with literature, stemming not from a lack of curiosity but a cultural message that reading books isn't valued.
Factors like the allure of smartphones and a decrease in full book teaching in schools contribute to this decline in reading preparedness among college students.
College professors are observing that today's students are overscheduled and anxious, often prioritizing activities relevant to employment over personal development and reading engagement.
