Educating Boys

With having a son I have become sensitive to understanding the emotional and educational needs of boys. Here is a link to a great article about educating boys:  http://booksandboys.blogspot.com/2010/02/because-you-care-about-boys.html.

I'll talk about this more extensively in another post, but I wanted to take this opportunity to promote one of my favorite ways for sharing great literature with children - the audio-book (available at public libraries). I am sure that having spent countless hours listening to exciting literary adventures in the car has encouraged my son's love for reading.

Children, especially boys need to be dealt with in an innovative approach.

While at school, they are full of energy and they have no interest for books... But some sort of innovations such as the audio-book will help!
