Girls vs Boys

There are "Girl" books and "Boy" books.
Not every book falls into one of these categories.
Thank goodness.

They begin on the picture book shelves and continue all the way to the young adult selections.
You know which is which just by looking at the cover. Usually.



These are both good read aloud choices. I like the story and illustrations in each. But it's pretty clear which gender the book is geared to.

Girls will often read a book about "boyish" things or a book where a boy is the main character.
Boys will not read, no way, no how, what they consider a "girl" book once they become readers. Typically.

Dr. Danny Brassel, nationally known speaker on the subject of reading, shares this statistic:
Four out of five struggling readers are boys.
What can you do to help?
