Boys Are Falling Behind in Reading—But You Can Help

Only 14% of boys (ages 8-13) read for fun*, a sharp drop from a generation ago.

It’s not just screens. The real issue? Most books aren’t written for how boys think or what grabs their attention.

Schools assign stories that feel slow, abstract, or emotional, formats many boys simply can’t connect with. Add in gaming and social media, and reading starts to feel like homework… not a thrill.

If boys don’t learn to love reading early, they may never catch up.

Great Battles for Boys® is here to solve that problem.
