Hi @dino123aoife
Is that ‘Aoife’ as in the Irish name? I live in Northern Ireland so Aoife is a common name, but I haven’t met anyone called Aoife in England.
There is some evidence that girls learn to read easier than boys. Typically reading difficulties have been reported to affect boys more than girls, but we don’t know if this is just because teachers and parents report problems with reading in boys more.
As for learning to ‘ride’ – did you mean ‘write’ or ‘ride a bike’? If it is riding a bike, I’m not sure. I don’t know any research that says there is a difference for boys and girls learning to ride.

That’s strange that people can’t say Aoife, it is quite easy to say. I can imagine people reading it wrong though.
I’m glad the answer was helpful 🙂
