Home Facebook Twitter Guys Read Book Clubs 4 Boys Books for Boys

Howdy!

Literacy is unbelievably important in today's world, yet many children lack basic literacy skills. And from what research is telling us boys are suffering more than anyone - worldwide. That's due to everything from feminine stigmas attached to reading to a lack of good male role models to misconceptions parents have about what "reading" and "literacy" include. So it's my mission to help boys see how amazing reading can be by showing them what's out there in terms of literacy.

I'm also going to talk about things that can help all kids become better readers - comprehension strategies, fun vocabulary words and activities, genres etc.

Take a look at my videos, facebook, twitter, links and suggestions. If you have anything to offer in the way of further suggestions for books or topics to discuss, activities to demonstrate, or anything else you think would be helpful, feel free to drop me a line!

cool word of the week

Brobdignagiun - (brob-dig-NAJ-ee-un) huge, gigantic, extremely tall or large.

This word comes from the book "Gulliver's Travels" by Jonathan Swift. Brobdignag is the mythical country inhabited by giants that Gulliver visits.

Our Brobdignagian substitute lumbered into the classroom like a giant tree that had suddenly discovered the ability to walk.

Also from Gulliver's Travels comes the word "Lilliputian" (lil-i-pew-shun) which is an antonym for Brobdignagian. Lilliput is the island where the tiny people live.
