A blog/community was brought to my attention today called Getting Boys to Read. It's a blog with a forum attached design to help parents, educators, librarians and anyone else to get boys to read more.
I took a quick look around and it looks pretty good. There are multiple contributors to the blog and the forum looks busy. The articles look helpful although I can't say for sure as I don't have any boys. However I wanted to direct anyone who does to the site so that you may find some help.

I do have a boy but so far I've not had any problems getting him to read. The trick for him is just to get him books on subjects he's interested in and to read with him every night.
It's so important to draw attention to reading, and attract reluctant readers to it, especially boys.
I grew up as a reluctant reader, in spite of the fact that my father published over 70 books. Now I write action-adventures & mysteries, especially for tween boys, that avid boy readers and girls enjoy just as much.
My blog, Books for Boys http://booksandboys.blogspot.com is dedicated to drawing attention to the importance of reading. And my new book, Lost Island Smugglers - first in the Sam Cooper Adventure Series - is coming out in August. .

PS. My first 7 books are going to be republished by Comfort Publishing later in 2010
