Boys and Reading
School Talk host Nadjia Varney sits down with George Mason University professor Dr. William G. Brozo, author of "To Be A Boy, To Be A Reader," to examine the importance of encouraging reading to pre-teen and teenage boys. Currently boys are fifty percent more likely than girls to be retained, and three to five times more likely to have learning and reading disability placement in schools. Although the discussion includes the tougher standards movement and "reading wars," the highlights revolve around Brozo’s theme of capturing boy's interest and attention by appealing to ten positive male archetypes, an outgrowth of Jungian psychology.
