A good deal of fascinating research has been done about the reading patterns of
young people, and it is surprising to discover at what early age children start
expressing preferences for particular kinds of books. A recent report, which
examined in detail the reading habits of primary-school children, showed that
even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about what they want to read.
Girls, in general, read more, and far more girls than boys preferred reading stories.
Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories, or else
books about their hobbies.
These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers. Apparently girls
read more in general, but more fiction in particular. You could say that there are
more opportunities for girls to read fiction: magazines encourage the fiction habit
in girls in their early teens, and by their late teens, girls have probably moved on
to the adult women’s magazines. Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their
hobbies: sports, motorcycles, heavy transport and so on.
