Writing, Reading and Gender.

Thomas, Peter

Gifted Education International, v9 n3 p154-58 1994

Differences in girls' and boys' writing are felt to stem from cultural experiences relating to their reading and viewing. The aim of teachers should not be to produce degendered narrative but to encourage the complementary components of assertiveness, reflectiveness, and awareness of opposed values in both boys' and girls' writing.
