your schedule this message brought to you as a community service of the economistsuntribune by caroline grech staff writer girls are better at reading and writing than boys at least thats what some may believe if they glance at the latest round of provincial test ing of grade 3 and 6 students in reading and writing the most recent eqao tests show more girls are at or above the provincial standard com pared to their male counter parts in reading and writing while the pattern isnt new it is consistent with the gap widening in writing across the province 68 per cent of female students are at the provincial standard compared with 50 per cent of male students in york region students at both boards mirror the pattern at the york catholic district school board 80 per cent of grade 6
