Summary:Jason Rogers, an educator with a strong passion for teaching language arts, smiles broadly and announces that he is determined to get fifth-grade boys more excited about reading this year. Caroline Krisel joins in: So many of the boys I've had over the years have complained that we read too many 'girl books' in language arts. The serious challenge of engaging boys in reading and writing has become more complex and the problem even influences the lives of gifted adolescent males. In order to do so, we examine the scholarly literature on boys' reading preferences and report findings from that work. richiespicks. com This site is librarian Richie Partington's personal home page where he continually reviews the latest books in young adult literature.
