Stealthy Readers’ Advisory: Getting Boys to Read | NoveList by Dawn Wacek *Originally appeared in the September issue of Kids & Books.* We've all heard this, haven't we? While little boys often start out loving to read and loving the library, it's easy to lose them by the time they reach upper elementary school.

Our next programming idea was aimed a little younger, and perhaps this was why we had more success -- we started a Lego Club.

Other Great Ideas Colleagues here in Northern Wisconsin have also tried some great ideas to get boys reading. Can't-Miss Series
