Encourage fathers to read stories!

Indeed, most of the time, when someone reads a book to a child, it is a woman. A mother, a kindergarten assistant, a baby sitter ... As a result, the child sees reading as a typical female. Although it is a boy, he wanted to do as men, therefore he does not read! If his father decided each evening to reading, it encourages him to develop his taste for this activity. What better a model father, who in the eyes of his son is still the strongest?

Their reading guides

The boys enjoy less fiction than girls. They prefer technical guides, the guides, which for example, they can learn how to tie knots, build a treehouse or learn what an army ... And their view is important because reading does not only to appreciate literature. It is an activity that can be used in all areas of life, to find documentary sources, a secret, classified ads or simply the information of the day

Give them a choice they like

Indeed, they do not always have the choice. Only a third of the libraries offer books for boys books they like: comic books, horror books, magazines, manuals ... Moreover, teachers, parents and librarians tend not to encourage them to read what they like, but to lead them to believe they read better. It is a mistake because of the coup, they read less.

Let them read what they want to read

Even if your son only reads comics, books, horror or a literary level that afflicts you, you encourage it. We know in fact that no matter the starting point, what matters is the pleasure experienced. From a certain amount of pleasure, it will turn more easily to most arid book that he was not able to address immediately.
