ResumoThis paper argues that it’s a mistake to aim for equality of performance in English. Boys and girls are differently literate, and need to play to their greatest strengths as well as widen their repertoire. If boys are to perform better, teachers need to guide them away from replicating restricted narrative models. Within narrative writing, however, they can learn much from a skills approach to writing — despite nature, culture or zomboid aliens.
