Click on our Biggest BELCH Award to find a list of Boys Books that are very Satisfying! In my search for our Book club- I've come across some really great books boys like- but seem to go unnoticed. (No gold sticker, no metal of honor) While these books aren't going to bring World Peace or solve World Hunger... and yeah, they haven't made a big contribution to the Art of Literature they are solving a pretty serious crisis: Poor Literacy Among Boys. And those kind of books, the ones reluctant readers will pick up and read, deserve some kind of award! (I update this monthly! So visit often!)
Once you start your book club or story time, join our weekly Book Club Round Up! We want to collect your brilliant ideas and share them with other book clubs!
Learn More about Bookclub4boys Outlines:
In a national survey conducted by the Young Adult Library Services Association in 2001, boys reported their top obstacles to reading.
39% said it was boring/no fun
29% said they had no time/were too busy
11% said they would rather do something else
8% said they couldn’t get into the stories
4% admitted they weren’t good at it
Book Club For Boys will address each of these obstacles and help channel your boy's creative energy in a fun, productive, educational way!
"Boring/No fun"? Our outlines are packed with activities, so fun is the focus!"No time" or "would rather be doing something else?" Our outlines provide great incentive games to reward boys who put the time into reading the book. (For example, begin by asking the boys questions about the book. For each question answered correctly, the boys earn a water balloon for the upcoming water balloon fight!)
"Can't get into the stories"? Try our special Movie Book Clubs. Sometimes boys with shorter attention spans or slower reading skills struggle to get into the story, but if they watch even the first 20 minutes of the movie first, they connect with the characters. Then, they can relate to the setting and feel motivated to read the book.
"Not good at it"? The more he reads, the better he will get at reading! We offer a number of helpful ideas and tips of how parents can help their sons read. To learn more about me , my family and maybe some additional tips on motivating boys.. check out my blog.
