Literacy Today January/February 2016

Welcome to interactive presentation, created with Publuu. Enjoy the reading!

Did you hear?

Education at a Glance 2015, a new report from

the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and

Development, shows gender gaps are wider in print

than in digital reading for boys and girls—

due to boys’ PISA scores rising

on a computer-based test

while girls’ scores drop.

One potential reason? Boys’

affinity for video games.
