The Miami Herald has an article on boys and reading entitled, These tips might make your son a reader. The tips are simple but powerful:
Find an “entry point.” Meaning look for reading materials that your son is interested in.
Look for books with male characters.
Think “outside the book.” There is plenty of reading materials not between book covers.
Start a book club.
Go to the bookstore and library.
Get involved in your child’s education.
Set the tone. Read in front of you children.
Start early. Read. Read. Read.
Music to my ears!
