Being able to read (and enjoy reading) is the key to a child's FUTURE LIFE.

Parents and teachers can struggle with some children, especially boys, when introducing them to books.

But reading can be FUN.

This book has three parts, according to the age and development of the child.

1. Understanding WHY some boys don't take to books and reading as easily as most girls.
2. Boys develop in stages. Birth to starting school. A great time to introduce books. Learning HOW TO READ. Ages 3,4,5,6,7,8. Consolidating the reading habit. What kind of books will your child enjoy? Vast list of books and authors. Take these lists to your librarian or bookshop.
3. Teenage reading. Special care is needed here. Beware of anti-social characters in films, computer games, comics, books. Boys can be mislead into following the wrong heroes. Check the list of recommended books.

Boys with no father-figure at home need special help.
