Writing is no longer only about pens and paper, many children said their preferred form of writing was messaging on a device.

Maybe you enjoy writing texts or messages, or poems and stories, or perhaps you keep a diary? It all counts.

Research suggests about one in three children in the UK say they enjoy writing in their leisure time.

More than 70,000 children took part in the survey carried out by The National Literacy Trust.

The charity said the results showed that children's enjoyment levels in writing had reached a crisis point.
