Appropriate Childrens Book For Boys

By Enid Hinton


Educators, as well as parents, are presented the particular challenge of seeking out reading material that is not only age appropriate, but capable of holding a young one's interest. The subject of the story can become very important as most early readers are still developing a healthy attention span. Because of this, there are many themes available to those looking to find a childrens book for boys.

There are some subjects that young males tend to find more appealing and enticing. Among these topics are things like sports, airplanes, cars, trucks, trains, construction vehicles, superheroes, medieval themes, space and monsters just to name a few. This is not to say that these genres are only for the guys or that every boy will enjoy them, it is only a generalization.

The main key to success in this endeavor is to understand the children for whom the books are intended. Knowing their likes and interests can be a great help in selecting stories that are going to light a spark, draw them in and make them want to discover more. Kids are eager to learn and reading is more fun when the subject is appealing.

Even when picking topics that appeal to a child's main areas of interest, it is important to not limit their exposure so much that they become fixated and inflexible. Try introducing new subjects and building an air of excitement around reading them. In this way their young minds become more open and ready to explore new things, both literary and in life.

At each reading level, the options and styles presented should be geared toward a particular ability or age. As an example, when the children are still young enough that they need someone to read for them, books with pictures that are colorful, bold and illustrate the story are recommended. A lot of titles on this tier have cute drawings are may be based on popular fictional characters and preschool television.

When the child is ready to begin trying to read on their own, the formats change. The pictures are generally less detailed and geared towards illustrating the few easy to sound out rhyming words that form the story. Switching the focus trains the young mind to concentrate on how the sounds form the words which become the sentences that explain the artwork.

When a child reaches the point where they are able to read on their own, providing them with tales starring their favorite subject matter is going to help build their interest in reading. Some popular themes for young men are construction sites, animals, different types of vehicles and superheroes. They tend to love the excitement and adventure of such topics.

Many young people are prone to picking certain subjects and wanting to focus on only reading stories that are based on those themes. Fortunately, most publishers recognize this pattern and will produce series of books all on the same topic so that the child can continue to enjoy tales that maintain their interests. There are so many styles and topics from which to choose, that finding something exciting and stimulating is never too difficult.
