I spent today at a Boys and Reading workshop at the National Library. It was awesome to see boys inspired by books and to share exciting ideas with like minded friends: Linda, Henry and Dave from Books in Homes and the team from the NZ Book Council.

Kia ora,
Can you share what ‘worked’ for the boys please?

Hi Tina it was a great day. One thing that worked really well was not judging the boys choices about what they wanted to read. Another thing was not assuming what boys want to read. One boy wanted a book on poetry 🙂

Kia ora,
Thanks so much for your feedback. I totally agree with what you said, so it’s reaffirming to know my students and I are getting there.
