Pink books and blue books: Are we widening the reading gap between boys and girls?
Have we divided our children into blue books and pink books? Surely, girls should be reading stories about boys and vice versa. Boys should be able to pick up a book that will challenge them emotionally, show empathy for the characters and be able to relate it to their lives. What effect does a division of fiction for girls and fiction for boys have on boys’ ability to read, on their ability to choose quality books, and on our ability as schools to close the reading gap?
Our CEO, Antony Witheyman, has written for Pearson about the gap between reading for pleasure between boys and girls. You can read his post here.
