Many boys are having trouble reading. Not only do girls out score boys on most reading tests, overall college enrollment is higher for girls than boys. Why is this? What's happening to our boys? Our "Guys Read" club is going to break that norm by reading books that appeal to us.
Our Guys Read club is made up of 3rd through 5th grade boys who are coming together to share in the joy of reading...in a "guy" kind of way.
These guys are dedicated to becoming guys who will out score girls on reading test and will enroll and be successful in college. With this Guys Read club, these boys will read what they want to read with your help. They prefer books that are realistic fiction, non-fiction, humorous, informational, and comics and graphic novels. Oh and a little more humor. This group of boys is ready to do some guy reading.
My Project
With your donations, our Guys Read club will be able to read books and magazine that interest them. They will have the opportunity to record/share with their classmates and school their reading experiences, thoughts and reviews of their books with the Flip Video Camcorder. The Camcorder will also help to create a video about reading that will be shared at an all-school assembly. This hard work will showcase the power of reading to all and show other boys how fun reading can and will be.
The Guys Read club will help to motivate boys to read by connecting them to books and magazines that they want to read.
This, in turn, will encourage the importance of literacy amongst boys and this club will beat the norm with your help.
