The first part of the book offers easy-to-implement practical tips for engaging resistant readers. Drawing from her aptly named READ model, Pam outlines four essential elements for crafting a sustained reading life: Ritual, Environment, Access, and Dialoge. The second part of the book is a comprehensive bibliography of surefire winners that Pam knows firsthand will hook and move almost every boy. Organized by the genres that boys seem to gravitate toward, each book is labeled with a developmental code to help you determine the right match for your students. For certain books, a special "Talk About It" section offers a guide for discussing key ideas from the reading. Finally, Allyn also includes a list of boy-pleasing magazines and websites.
