When showcasing data from children's reading habit surveys, presenting the information in an engaging way helps make the insights both accessible and interesting. Here are four creative methods for sharing survey results:

Infographic Poster
Create a colorful and informative infographic that summarizes key findings such as popular genres and reading frequency. Infographics combine visuals and data, making complex information easy to digest at a glance.

Bookshelf Bar Chart
Design a bar chart where each bar is represented as a stack of books, with the height of each stack reflecting the popularity of different genres. This playful approach helps students visualize survey trends in an engaging and familiar format.
