According to the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study, boys have lower reading skills than girls by the end of primary school. This gap has been reported for more than twenty years with "girls outperforming boys in 51 of the 57 participating education systems, with an average difference of 19 points". In addition, boys report less enjoyment of reading; 46% of girls say they like reading compared to only 37% of boys enjoying reading (via).
