kottke, 
This is the first I’m learning of the spookily named Decline at 9 phenomenon, in which kids apparently lose interest in reading around age nine. (Per the article, 57% of 8-year-olds claim to read for fun daily, vs. only 35% of 9-year-olds.) ¯_(ツ)_/¯ https://slate.com/culture/2024/05/kids-reading-fun-books-decline-by-nine-crisis.html
