Reading Habits Survey Report
Introduction
The school library commissioned a survey to gauge the monthly reading habits of its students. One hundred and twenty pupils participated, providing a snapshot of current engagement with books.
Data Presentation
| Books per month | Number of students | Percentage |
|----------------|-------------------|------------|
| 0 | 30 | 25 % |
| 1‑2 | 45 | 37.5 % |
| 3‑4 | 30 | 25 % |
| 5 or more | 15 | 12.5 % |
The percentages were calculated by dividing each count by the total sample (120) and multiplying by 100.
Analysis of Trends
A clear majority (62.5 %) of students read two books or fewer each month, indicating limited reading activity. One‑quarter of the cohort (25 %) do not read any books, while only a small segment (12.5 %) demonstrate high reading frequency (five or more books). This distribution suggests a need to stimulate interest among low‑frequency readers.
Conclusion
The survey reveals that while a modest proportion of students are regular readers, a significant number either read very little or not at all. Enhancing the appeal of reading could raise overall literacy and enjoyment of literature.
Recommendations
1. Launch a monthly reading challenge that rewards participants with certificates and small prizes, encouraging students to set personal reading targets.
2. Expand the library's collection of contemporary teen fiction and graphic novels, genres that have proven popular in other schools, to attract students who currently read few or no books.

Analysis of Trends
Contrary to expectations, the data suggest that a majority (62.5 %) of students read five books or more each month, indicating an exceptionally high reading rate. Only a small proportion (25 %) read two books or fewer.
Conclusion
The survey reveals that most students are avid readers, with very few low‑frequency readers.
Recommendations
1. Reduce the number of new titles added each month, as the current collection is sufficient for the high‑reading audience.
2. Limit the library's opening hours to focus on the most active readers.
