    Greetings Julianne, 

    I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit. We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight.

    If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!

    Sincerely,

    Mike McQueen

    Hi Mike, I am no longer a librarian, but a second grade teacher. Some of the methods I use to get boys to read is to read something from the middle of the book or an exciting scene from the book, or simply use the book as an all class book to pique their interest. Another method is to have several copies of the same book and get them to read together in a group, make it a competition to get the book read. AR reading (accelerated reading) also is a great program to help keep the interest of the boys, because they can log points with every test they take. Once they get the ideas, they are pretty much unstoppable and relentless at obtaining points. Its fun to watch as a teacher! Good luck in your endeavors
