TIPS
CONTENT - try different genres. Manga, graphic comics, magazines, Orca novels are popular with boys. Keep trying different reading material.
CHOICE - boys enjoy getting ownership and being actively involved in decisions about what they are reading.
RELEVANCE TO LIFE - a lot of boys like to read manuals for mp3 players, games and activities that they are interested in. Magazines on skateboard, cars and their hobbies should be popular.
MODEL IT- boys appreciate it when they see us reading with them, and learning from the material too, reading is not hierarchical experience, reading what they are reading legitimizes the process
