Links

A quick note on some of the links at the top of the page:

Guys Read: This is an initiative started by John Scieszka (like Fresca) and others to get boys to read. It's an amazing resource for literature geared toward boys. You can find a link at the bottom of the Guys Read page to Scieszka's website. He's an outstanding advocate for boy's literacy and has some awesome stuff on his website as well.

Book Clubs 4 Boys: This is a website put together by a mom that holds book clubs with her boys. As I've mentioned before one of the problem's of boys' literacy is that there are feminine stigmas attached to reading. When you think of book clubs, you generally don't picture a bunch of men sitting around discussing a book. She designs her book cub meetings so boys can further discuss books, but also have some fun with projects relating to what they've read. Check out her site, it's got some spectacular stuff for boys to get involved in.

I have a Master's Degree in Education, a love of kids and books, and a near-constant craving for brownies.

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.
