- W2110508324 abstract "While literacy continues to be important during the secondary school years, motivation to read in middle school declines (1, 2, 3, 4). There is little research on adolescents free-time activities that could include reading (5). Less is known about differences in urban or rural communities. The purpose of this study was to determine to what extent sixth graders in an urban and rural public school differ in their preferred types of literacy activities, amount of time spent engaging in literacy activities, and the effect of time spent doing homework on leisure reading. Survey results of students from urban and rural sixth grade classes indicated urban students spent more time reading for fun as well as the girls in the study. Data were collected using a 16 question, multiple choice survey constructed to obtain information about students' after school and weekend activities as they relate to time spent engaging in literacy activities and homework. Included in the survey was a reading vocabulary assessment that consisted of twenty-seven real words and nonwords to determine the similarity of each groups' reading vocabulary knowledge. The survey and reading vocabulary list was administered during the students' English class and took approximately fifteen minutes to complete. Comparisons between the urban and rural students and the time they read for fun indicated that the amount of time the urban sixth graders read for fun (M = 1.92, SD = 1.10) was significantly greater than the time the rural sixth graders read for fun (M = 1.36, SD = .826), t(2.550) = .221, p = .013 (two-tailed). An independent sample t-test was used to analyze the data. There were no statistically significant differences between time spent on homework and time spent reading for fun. The students in the present study were asked what types of activities they engage in during their free time. Both groups rated listening to music (Urban 76%; Rural 89%) and participating in group sports (U 80%; R 75%) highest. More students from the rural community rated hanging out with friends (89%) and watching TV/movies (68%) as most preferred free-time activities. Sixth graders from the urban community indicated a high interest in shopping and playing computer and video games. Both groups rated reading as a solo activity similarly (Urban 38%;" @default.
