In this episode, I explore why boys struggle with reading from an early age and what we can do to help. I unpack the science behind the gender gap, from brain development to classroom expectations, and share practical, research-backed strategies for parents and educators. We’ll cover phonics, movement-based learning, reading role models, screen time, motivation, and more — plus real-world success stories that prove change is possible.

Have a book your boys love? Send it my way — I’m building a reading list for future episodes.
