(2019·广州调研测试)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电动钢丝刷,and have a more positive attitude towards reading.
There are several reasons that help explain these genderbased 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 rec
eive 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 look for ways to connect boys with reading.This has led to discussion about the importance of promoting socalled boyfriendly books that boys supposedly prefer.These are typically assumed to be nonfiction works,as many people believed that boys prefer to read nonfiction.
But this belief is not supported by recent research,which in fact suggests boys are more likely to choose to read fiction than nonfiction.Encouraging all boys to read nonfiction under the mistaken belief that it is their preference may actually be harmful.Fiction readers read more frequently and demonstrate faster language learning 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 discussion about reading for pleasure in order to keep up with their interests.
Schools should also provide access to libraries during lessons throughout the years of 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 lessons.Access to books for boys is essential to promote reading.
In addition,38gggwe should keep paper books available because research shows that boys are less likely 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.
