Some boys are born readers. Others are born athletes or scientists or wanna-be racecar drivers or outdoors enthusiasts—but that doesn't mean they can't learn to love to read. We know that, as parents, you're always trying your best to encourage your kids to become readers and to understand the importance of a good story.
- Try appealing to the interests they already have. Our themes section can be a great resource for this!
- Read to your young children before bed or naptime.
- Use the activity sheets we have posted on this site in the printables section as fun follow up to a read-aloud or as entertainment for a long car ride or summer vacation trip.
- Read to your elementary and middle-school aged children, too! And let them share in the fun and read back to you for a change.
- Start a mother/son or father/son or brother/brother book club using our book club tips & recommendations page. Encourage your tweens and teens to get involved with programs hosted by your local library or bookstores.
- Check out our author tours page to see if any of your boys' favorite writers are making appearances in your neck of the woods.
