Boys and Reading

| Tasha

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!

One thought on “Boys and Reading”

  1. New blog – Books for Boys
    I’m launching a new blog concerning books for boys. Much of the content will come from books I’m writing for readers 8 – 13, especially boys, reasons why this is important, and other resources along the way. My first posts are up at http://booksandboys.blogspot.com .
    Since children and reading, especially for boys, are important to you, I hope you’ll bookmark the site and check back often.
