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 explain these gender-based differences Parents read more with their daughters. This sends a strong and early message that books 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.

This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting so-called "boy-friendly" books that boys supposedly prefer". These are typically assumed to be non-fiction works, as many people believed that boys prefer to read non-fiction But this belief is not supported by recent research, which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than non-fiction. Encouraging all boys to read non-fiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful. Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language leaning and higher language ability.

Besides encouraging more fiction reading, there are a number of ways that we can help connect boys with books. 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 regular discussions about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests

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 books for boys is essential to promote reading
