A newly released report from MoE, Literacy skills of young adult New Zealanders explores how the literacy of young adults (aged 16-24) in New Zealand varies according to a wide range of factors (technology, language, ethnicity, TV habits…)
Technology: For people aged 16-24, literacy scores increased as number of hours of home computer use increased. Computer use for playing games or online chat made no difference to literacy. Literacy scores were related to computer use for language-related activities e.g. writing, editing, email, and these were predominant uses of home computers.
People who watched television or videos for 5 or more hours per day had lower literacy on average. Another was that those who never used a library had lower literacy than those who used a library even infrequently.
