Summary
Presents ten archetypal males from selected literature and recommends strategies for classrooms and media centers to engage boy readers in positive archetypal literature. (view table of contents)
Amazon.com description: Product Description: When it comes to reading, teen and preteen boys are your toughest students. Now, solutions are at hand in this one-of-a-kind book that offers ideas for using literature with positive male archetypes to motivate boys to read and capture their unique imaginations. Author Brozo defines several such archetypes and shares instructional vignettes in which teachers across the curriculum develop innovative strategies and activities using young adult books with these archetypes. He also shows you how to work with adults in the community to positively influence boys' literacy behavior and create conditions that encourage them to read. A foreword by Jon Scieszka explains why the need to help boys is so urgent. An appendix offers a booklist of 300 titles to help you identify appropriate archetypal literature.

Although this book is geared specifically toward helping boys, the author points out that the strategies presented may also benefit girls by exposing them to positive male images that are unlike the stereotypes of masculinity they are exposed to every day.

To Be a Boy, To Be a Reader will help you stop the cycle of adolescent boys' struggles with reading and engender a love of reading that last a lifetime.
