Description: "Are boys less literate than girls? Are certain groups of boys inevitably less literate than others? Boys and Literacy tackles the complex interweaving of gender, masculinity, culture, literacy and schooling and outlines the major issues to consider when talking about boys and literacy. It is presented as a two-book set which comprises Boys and Literacy - Professional Development Units and Boys and Literacy - Teaching Units.  Boys and Literacy - Professional Development Units is designed for pre-service and in-service teacher use with full details and guidelines, overhead transparency proformas, discussion guides and question sheets.  Boys and Literacy - Teaching Units contains 18 teaching units designed for classroom use from early childhood to post-secondary. These two books provide stimulating and practical resources to confront a common problem area.
