Across the world, studies have consistently found that girls perform significantly better

than boys in reading. These studies show that girls typically read more frequently than boys, and

have a more positive attitude toward reading,

There are several reasons that help eplain these gender-based differences Parents read more with

their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that boos are for girls, as well as equipping

girls with a significant advantage. Recent research has found even though boys read less

frequently than girls, girls still receive more encouragement to read from their parents.

So how can parents and educators help bridge this socially-engineered gap for boys'

reading?To improve boys" reading performance, parents and educators may 1oo for ways to

connect boys with reading. This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called

"boy-friendly" boos that boys supposedly prefer". These are typically assumed to be non-fiction

wors, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction

liely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the

mistaen belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language leaning and higher language ability.

connect boys with boos. Firstly, don't assume that boys of the same age have the same interests or

that their interests. stay the same over time. To match boys with suitable reading material, have

schooling. Girls visit the library in their free time more than boys, and as students move to higher

grades they often have less access to libraries during class, Access to boos for boys is essential to

promote reading

In addition, we should eep paper boos available because research shows that boys are less

liely to choose to read on screens than girls. Finally we should promote reading as an enjoyable

pastime by being a role model. Let your children or students see you read for pleasure.
