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. So how we can engage our young male readers and keep them engaged year after year -- which we know will enrich their lives as well as help them keep up academically in countless ways? What We Did We’ve tackled this issue repeatedly at our library. Success! "...When these boys do decide to read, they (now) know us well enough to actually ask for help." Our next programming idea was aimed a little younger, and perhaps this was why we had more success -- we started a Lego Club. For teens, over time we’ve built an incredibly popular teen space by adding a Wii and an Xbox. Other Great Ideas Colleagues here in Northern Wisconsin have also tried some great ideas to get boys reading. Can't-Miss Series

I’m not just talking about $100 bills, but more importantly someone who plays the same role as America’s favorite statesman did in molding American thinking. One of Franklin’s little known contributions was The Library Company. It was the nation’s first library and reading community. Wasn’t he the one who said: Imagine Benjamin Franklin in the digital world of today. But we are still asking “which book should I read next?” This is what this little guide is all about. Let’s turn the first page. Get Alerted to New Books 1. Google Alerts is one of those homing missiles that you should really use more often.

Best Young Adult Novels, Best Teen Fiction, Top 100 Teen Novels It's almost a cliche at this point to say that teen fiction isn't just for teens anymore. Just last year, the Association of American Publishers ranked Children's/Young Adult books as the single fastest-growing publishing category. Which is why we were only a little surprised to see the tremendous response that came in for this summer's Best-Ever Teen Fiction poll. And now, the final results are in. Selecting a manageable voting roster from among the more than 1,200 nominations that came in from readers wasn't easy, and we were happy to be able to rely on such an experienced panel of judges. Summer, like youth, is fleeting.
When Adults Don't Read, Kids Lose. Note: This post was co-written with my friend Todd Nesloney, who is both the principal at Webb Elementary School in Navasota, TX and the coauthor of the book Kids Deserve It. It was so much fun collaborating with Todd to transform what started as a conversation over Voxer about teachers who don't read, into this piece! Thank you for working with me on this, friend! Helping students create and grow authentic reading lives, is one of our most important jobs as educators. Obviously, there are probably many answers to this question, but one possible reason may lie in the reality that far too many educators don’t have reading lives of their own. Increase your own access to books: Visit your school library and become BFFs with the librarian. The bottom line is this: your students need and deserve for you to be their independent reading champion. So… what are you waiting for?
Getting Personal with Books How do we encourage teens to come back to reading for fun? For my high school library, getting personal with books has made all the difference. Part of the answer lies in knowing your specific patrons and collection and matching students to books that might draw them in. Another part of the answer lies in choosing programs and promotions that might engage your teen readers. Research from Common Sense Media shows that as students grow through adolescence they spend less time reading for fun. Common Sense Media’s study “Children, Teens, and Reading” found that the number of students who read for enjoyment decreases “from 53% of 9-year-olds to 19% of 17-year-olds.” If you ask a teacher in any grade level or content area what one of the largest barriers they face is, they will invariably tell you it is time. Personal book shopping is a school-wide library program where I hand-pick 4 books for each participating student based on their answers to a few short questions. Work Cited Like this:
