For Guys Only
• Biologically, boys are slower to develop than girls and often struggle with reading and writing skills early on.
• The action-oriented, competitive learning style of many boys works against them learning to read and write.
• As a society, we teach boys to suppress feelings. Boys aren’t practiced and often don’t feel comfortable exploring the emotions and feelings found in fiction.
• Boys don’t have enough male role models for literacy. Because the majority of adults involved in kids’ reading are women, boys don’t see reading as a masculine activity.
• Many books boys are asked to read don’t appeal to them. They aren’t motivated to want to read.
