No Girls Allowed! A Literacy Website just for Boys

Wow that’s something interesting here. I have always had some problems to get my boy reading at school or moreover at home. All those motivational things were just thrown away by his will to play with computer rather that read and so on. I think that this website is exactly what he and all other boys that hate reading need. Now I will use your advices and give my boy to read only what he wants. Comics and magazines will be the nice start line I think. I am wondering why I didn’t get this idea before. However it better later than never. Thanks for the interesting and useful article one more time and keep posting nice stuff in the future too. I will be following your website.

Scieszka’s site seems in part a reaction to the well-publicized NEA Reading at Risk Report which shows a staggering decline in American readership. cheap tampa bay buccaneers tickets Guys Read points out the plight is even worse for boys:
  * The U.S. Department of Education reading tests for the last 30 years show boys scoring worse than girls in every age group, every year.
  * Eighth grade boys are 50 percent more likely to be held back than girls.
  * Overall college enrollment is higher for girls than boys.

Guys read with a a new approach to literacy looks fine but in can be adopted for a very small frame of time per day for a school going child. As reading science and reading comics or reading Hary Poter is not equivalent

Its a wonderful idea to have a literacy website for boys but I won’t advocate the “No girls Allowed” tag with it. Thanks for sharing such a useful resource. Regards, David from iPhone Development.
