[LM_NET] Target: strategies and titles for boys

[John Allen <kaiserkangaroo@COX.NET>]

Greetings,

I am going to be giving a presentation in August on titles, authors, strategies and 
practices for promoting reading to boys.  I will be focusing on boys 3rd through 
5th grade, but I want to be able to include some information for older and younger 
boys as well.  

I am trying to survey as many librarians as possible to gather information to 
present.  If you wouldn't mind, please take a few minutes to answer the three 
questions below.  I will post a hit here on the list with the responses I gather, 
and I will do my best to give credit in my presentation.  I will also post the 
materials/handouts for the presentation when they are finished.  The questions are:

What strategies or suggestions have you used successfully  to promote reading for 
boys?

What authors or titles do you recommend for boys?

What non-fiction subject areas do you believe are most popular with boys?

Please send responses to: jwallen@okcps.org

I appreciate your time.
