Introduction

Why is there a large gap?

           Most kids can say that reading is something they have to do in school, but that doesn't mean they enjoy it. A question that remains in the minds of many is why the majority of anti-readers are boys. When trying to figure this out, one must look at multiple perspectives. In this case, there are three major perspectives that we will focus on. One saying why boys read less, the other saying why girls read more, and the last suggesting that  boys actually do read as much as girls. Many questions will be asked over this topic, but I see three being most necessary:

§  Why do girls read more than boys?

§  Why don’t boys read more?

§  Does brain development have to do with why boys read less than girls?
