Getting Boys Enthusiastic About Reading

Link to April 10 La Crosse Tribune article, "Reading group aims to get boys excited about books".

Excerpt: Freddy Ragan wasn’t a fan of curling up with a good book.

But an all-boys reading group that meets twice a week at
Emerson Elementary School suddenly has the 11-year-old fifth-grader excited about extra chapters.

“It’s kind of fun. We get to talk about our reading, and joke and stuff,” Ragan said. “It’s a lot easier than school reading, and all the books are for guys.”
