According to the research reviewed by the National Institute of Health, girls are not more at risk of having dyslexia. In fact, the actual incidence of dyslexic boys and girls is very close to equal. It looks like slightly more men than women are identified as having dyslexia but it is not statistically significant.

Also, what we're seeing in the classroom is that boys are referred for services for reading problems more frequently than girls. The reason seems to be that boys have a greater tendency to act out in school which ends up in them getting more attention.
