Research Snippets
Link between poor reading skills and bad-behaviour in boys. UK/US, 2006 It has long been suggested that poor reading skills and bad behaviour in children were linked, although it has not yet been identified which occurs first. However, a study of 2,200 twins born in 1994-1995 by a team of researchers from Wisconsin-Madison University in the US and King’s College London has discovered the problem exists more in boys than in girls. Dr Terrie Moffitt, who co-authored the study, highlighted children who displayed difficulties with their reading and vocabulary, became increasingly involved in anti social behaviour, such as bullying, lying and theft. The researchers however found no such pattern in girls adding in their case it was “extremely rare.” The researchers also used twins in order to examine genetic causes, and found no such links, concluding it to be an issue of environment, such as “What goes on in the classroom.”
