Boys vs. Girls Reading Abilities | Science Fair Projects | STEM Projects
Are boys or girls better at reading? Let's find out! We'll compare the reading abilities of boys and girls by having them read a 500-word text passage. We'll then count the number of mistakes made by each group.

Hypothesis

The hypothesis is that girls are better at reading than boys.

Method & Materials

You will need 10 boys and 10 girls aged 15, a 500-word text, an English teacher, and a room for the oral test. The students will be asked to read the text aloud and the teacher will count the number of mistakes made.
You will need 10 boys and 10 girls aged 15, a 500-word text, an English teacher, and a room for the oral test.

Results

The results showed that boys made an average of 16 mistakes while reading the 500-word text, compared to only 11 mistakes by the girls. This proves that the hypothesis that girls are better at reading than boys is true.

Why do this project?

This science project is interesting because it shows how gender can affect reading abilities. It also shows how important reading skills are for a person's development.

Also Consider

Variations of this experiment could include repeating it on students from different age groups, or testing the students further with questions to check their levels of understanding of the passage.
