I had the privilege of working as an educational consultant with a large publisher of children’s books for two years. A huge part of my job was meeting with teachers and parents to help in the process of choosing books for kids. I thoroughly enjoyed the job because I genuinely love books and love kids. I’m passionate about childhood literacy not only for our own children, but for other children in the community.
The more I worked in schools and homes though, the more I realized an unsettling problem:
The vast majority of boys are labeled ‘reluctant’ readers.
The vast majority of boys labeled 'reluctant' readers also spend way too much time in front of the screen.
