Thursday, January 6, 7 p.m. Parents and educators alike will tell you that the love of reading (sadly) doesn’t always come naturally to boys. As a story in Washingtonpost.com (1/25/05) put it “girls read; boys don’t.” Is there anything a concerned adult can do? Ann Cannon’s experiences as a teacher of children’s literature, a bookseller, a writer, and a mother of five sons have convinced her that the answer is yes. She’ll discuss strategies and specific titles that have been successful with real live boys.
At the Salt Lake County Whitmore Library This special adult program is especially for parents of boys of all ages. Adults only. This speaker is presented by the Utah Humanities Council. For further information, call (801) 943-4636.
