How to get boys to read


Since boys can sometimes be reluctant readers, here are a few ways you can encourage them to read and improve their literacy skills:

- Let him choose books, magazines, or graphic novels on subjects and genres he is interested in.

- If he seems more interested in sports than anything else, you can always pick up a non-fiction book about that sport or a biography on his favourite athlete.

- When visiting museums, zoos, and aquariums, why not end the day with a stop in the book section of the gift shop. Let him choose a book on something he saw and would be interested in learning more about.

- Both boys and girls will be more interested in reading if they see you doing it. The more books and magazines you have around the house the better.
