GUYS READ 9 (PARENTS, TEACHERS, GR. 3-12)
http://www.guysread.com/
A lot of boys aren’t too crazy about reading.
Author and teacher Jon Scieszka grew up with five brothers. He taught elementary
school for ten years. He’s been writing books for kids for fifteen years. And he has
an idea why boys might not like reading.
Boys often have to read books they don’t really like. They don’t get to choose what
they want to read. And what they do like to read, people sometimes tell them is not
really reading.
He thinks boys need to:
• Choose what they read.
• Pick from all different kinds of reading – not just school novels.
• Find out what other guys like to read.
This GUYS READ website is made to help with all of those things.
So go choose something from all different kinds of reading and tell some other guys
about it.

(Editor’s note—I’ve been reading Jon Scieszka ‘s work out to my grade 5
students and they love his work—both boys and girls!)
