Boys are notorious for being reluctant readers. According to the U.S. Department of Education, in every year, for the past 30 years, boys have scored worse than girls in every age group when it came to reading. Statistics show that by eighth grade, boys are 50 percent more likely to be held back than girls. In high school, two-thirds of special education students are boys.
Boys statistically read less than girls, and also tend to be reluctant readers on the whole. Reading is vital to academic success. Studies have shown that reading for fun is linked to academic performance, and even if a child doesn’t like reading for fun, it is still a vital skill for every kid to have. It is a skill that will always be needed to function well in society and is always useful. Though boys tend to have more trouble finding the will to read. Boys need to see themselves reflected in what they read, they hunger after action-packed adventures featuring superheroes, and sports, monsters, dinosaurs and they definitely prefer non-fiction.
However, boys can be persuaded to read with a personalized book from KD Noveltieswhich satisfies every need they may crave.
