In most language groups, young girls acquire language on average at a slightly faster rate than boys, though this tends to even out by middle childhood. Gender differences in language use appear early; girls are more likely to use language in the context of emotional relationships with others, while boys are more likely to use language to describe objects and events. On average, girls also learn to read slightly earlier than boys, but this too evens out in middle childhood. Nonetheless, throughout the lifespan, women tend to perform slightly higher than men on average on tests measuring verbal acuity and performance.
