Description
THIS ARTICLE SUMMARIZES SOME OF THE RECENT RESEARCH ON BOYS AND READING THAT HAS BEEN PRIMARILY CONDUCTED IN AUSTRALIA BUT IS ALSO AVAILABLE ONLINE TO INTERNATIONAL READERS, THE RESEARCH MAKES IT CLEAR THAT MANY BOYS ARE STILL READING, BUT COMPETING CLAIMS ON THEIR BUSY LIVES EASILY SIDETRACK THEM FROM MAKING READING THEIR MAIN ACTIVITY, AS EDUCATORS, WE CAN USE MANY STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE BOYS' READING HABITS. There are many views held today about reading and young people, particularly boys. One view is that they no longer read, that technological interests have replaced reading. Another is that boys do not enjoy reading and do not succeed at it. Many hold the view that boys only like a limited range of books and that we should choose only a particular kind of book for boys. My experience in working with boys over many years is different from these stereotypes.
