Do kids who read newspapers score highest on academic tests?

70% of junior high school students don't read newspapers = readers have higher accuracy rates in academic achievement tests

Just one word.

Is this stealth marketing for the newspaper industry?

I guess families who can afford to subscribe to newspapers are investing in their children's academic ability.

Isn't it the same as saying, "Children from families who eat breakfast properly have higher academic abilities" (a high income possible for a full-time housewife)?

Of course, I know that there are families who make a proper breakfast using a two-horsepower stove.

I don't want to completely reject newspapers, but I think novels are enough in terms of vocabulary, reading comprehension, and imagination.
