Book Description

"Reading is boring and stupid...There aren't any books I like to read...I want to play video games...Only nerds and girls read books, and I play sports!"

Do any of these remarks- typically uttered by 9- to 14-year-old boys when they are asked to read a book for pleasure- sound familiar?

Are you frustrated that your son spends too much time with technology and not enough time reading?

Have you tried everything you can think of to get your son to read but nothing seems to work?

This appealingly straightforward and action-oriented how-to guide is for parents who want their self-proclaimed non-reading preteen/early teen sons to read in their spare time, but they're not exactly sure how to make it happen.

Many moms and dads try to motivate their sons to read with the best of intentions, but somehow, someway, these good intentions turn into a frustrating struggle.

Enter Boys and Books. Everything you thought you knew about getting boys to read is turned on its head, and in its place you're introduced to the 10 Building Blocks boys need before they will even consider reading for pleasure in their spare time.

In this book, you'll learn:

-Why boys view reading as pain instead of pleasure (and how to re-define reading as pleasurable for them)

-Why it's imperative to help boys re-shape reading and include it in their lives today

-How to think, plan, support and initiate reading like a coach

-The exact action steps it takes to develop the boy-responsive reading mindset and create the boy-responsive reading environment boys need to read

Commit to following the action-steps shared in this book, and by the end, you'll have the confidence, awareness and knowledge you need to harmoniously initiate the 30-minute-a-day reading habit with your son.
