Abstract

This chapter highlights a certain stagnation in the reading skills of children and young people, and reflects on some of the possible causes of this inertia which, in our view, is stifling the development of the country’s human potential.

 

We discuss some of the institutional plans put forward to promote reading and the consolidation of successful activities such as workshops, conferences and working groups that aim to make reading a cornerstone of education. We also highlight certain ideas or situations that pose a challenge to the optimism that should motivate us if our aim is to establish ourselves definitively as a society that stimulates reading.
