Some educators and librarians so are desperate to get boys to read something, anything, that they’ll turn a blind eye to any but the most objectionable material. “Well, at least they’re reading,” they’ll say. Yet deep down, we all know that the junky material we use to get them to read is likely to give them a taste for … more junk. This week, we’ll talk about a few reasons your son may not like to read much now, and give you some real suggestions for solid, wholesome, challenging, and educational books that your son will love.
