My Project

Sometimes I struggle to get young boys to become committed readers.

These adventurous books are all aimed at getting boys to read for fun in class!

They center around epic adventurers, explorers, hunters, and fisherman as they travel the world in search of their next great adventure.

Help inspire these reluctant readers to pick up a book that interests them and learn more about the great outdoors. I appreciate your support in advance, thank you for inspiring the young men in my classroom to read and to become lifelong readers!

Mr. Chilton Stockdale High School Grades 9-12
