Guys Read
Jon Scieszka, an author who has written books for kids for the past 15 years, started the GUYS READ website to help boys find books they'll enjoy reading. Jon Scieszka explains his website, “Boys often have to read books they don’t really like. They don’t get to choose what they want to read. And what they do like to read, people sometimes tell them is not really reading. I think boys need to: 1) choose what they read; 2) pick from all different kinds of reading – not just school novels, and 3) find out what other guys like to read. This GUYS READ website is made to help with all of those things. So go choose something from all different kinds of reading and tell some other guys about it.” |
