2003-03-04 Overcoming the Obstacle Course: Teenage Boys and Reading
|
|
Connecting boys with books and reading requires librarians and
teacher-librarians to examine their assumptions and expectations. Young
adult services specialists Patrick Jones and Dawn Fiorelli examine the
research into boys’ reading and non-reading habits, and offer concrete and practical advice for making that connection. Suggestions include reviewing
the library’s collection and the young adult area within the library to assess guy-friendliness. Includes a list of professional resources to help
teacher-librarians, and a list of “sure-thing” titles for boys in middle
school.

Even people with a mild reading impairment do not read for fun. For them, reading requires so much effort that they have little energy left for understanding what they have just read.
