This collaborative research aims to explore the factors at play in the current UK gender attainment gap in reading. Boys' disengagement with reading requires renewed approaches if we are to make any impact on the weak literacy and attendant reduction in their life chances (Brozo, 2019). This research will attempt to gauge how attitudes toward masculinity might obstruct learning for boys, while evaluating the efficacy of a 'critical literacy' approach to engaging boys in reading. The comparative model proposed would be embedded in a collaborative partnership with Durham's Local Education Authority (LA), affording the researcher variation of contextual settings, while working in close partnership with County educational experts and a range of schools in developing new approaches to understanding masculinity, teaching reading, and has the potential to shape LA policy.

这项合作研究旨在探讨目前英国阅读性别差距的因素。如果我们要对识字能力薄弱和随之而来的生活机会减少产生任何影响，男孩脱离阅读需要新的方法（Brozo，2019）。这项研究将试图衡量对男性气质的态度如何可能阻碍男孩的学习，同时评估“批判性识字”方法对男孩参与阅读的有效性。提出的比较模型将嵌入在与达勒姆的地方教育局（LA）的合作伙伴关系，提供研究人员的变化的背景设置，同时与县教育专家和一系列的学校在开发新的方法来理解男性气质，教学阅读，并有可能塑造洛杉矶的政策密切合作。
