Especially for Boys
Jill White presented at the SEE Conference and these were recommendations she made!
Three Great Websites:
BOY'S READ.ORG ~ check out the BEST BOOKS link GUYS READ ~ Jon Scieszka MENTORING BOYS ~ check out the LITERACY link
Get Books With the Right Stuff:
Books that:
Represent how boys see themselves
Have a lot of action and adventure
Strong visuals, graphic novels, comics
Represent "boy humor"
Are informative, non-fiction, how-to-books
Jill White suggested these as some books or reading materials that your boy may enjoy:
Humor: Captain Underpants Series by Dav Pilkey The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby - Dav Pilkey
How Things Work: The New Way Things Work by David Macaulay The Way We Work by David Macaulay
Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles: Trucktown by Jon Scieszka
Science Fiction: Spaceheadz - Jon Scieszka
Magazines ~ Boys love magazines because: They're cheap They're current They're visual They're focused on male's interests They're nonfiction They're short
