To Be a Boy, To Be a Reader

Engaging Teen and Preteen Boys in Active Literacy

William G. Brozo

When it comes to reading, teen and preteen boys are often the most challenging students. Solutions are at hand with this book of ideas for using literature with positive male archetypes — and thereby capture boys’ imaginations and engender a lifetime love of literature.

Author Bill Brozo defines several archetypes and shares vignettes of teachers across the curriculum who use innovative strategies and activities that draw on these archetypes in outstanding young adult books. You’ll also learn how to work with adults in the community to positively influence boys’ literacy behavior.
