This readaloud collection, designed to encourage boys to read, is part of the Help I lost my library/media specialist series. Although nothing can replace the specialized knowledge of a teacher-librarian, this collection of books and before/after reading activities was created by an experienced elementary library/media specialist. Read about what interests young male readers and find ways to make reading part of their lives even if they avoid fiction. The list of books to read aloud and accompanying activities include Lexiles where available.

In the Classroom
