Getting Boys Reading and Writing

I have just come across Gary Wilson's work. Mr. Wilson is a former teacher who noticed the gender gap in writing and has since gone on, in his retirement, to working with boys reading and writing.

He has a series of videos on boys' learning and each video includes a short handout linked just below the video.

    I have just published a series of lesson ideas designed to get boys into writing. I was also a boy who hated writing. Would you consider posting about my ideas or linking to my store at TeachersPayTeachers? Here is a link in case you want to link to it or check it out: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Writing-Ideas-BOYS-Will-Be-Excited-About-1406781

    I could also send a copy of the file if you want to check out the ideas.

    Thanks

    Glenn

    PS: If there are two messages, I apologize, I tried once before and wanted to preview what I wrote. It disappeared.

      Hey Glenn,

      This is a non-for-pay labour-of-love blog about motivating boy writers. I don't promote paid materials, just materials that interest me as I browse the web. Now having said that, if someone was to check out your link above, and be willing to pay for your bundle, what's the harm.

      All the best.

      Kent
