Boy Writers: Reclaiming Their Voices Audiobook (Unabridged)

" We had to read this for our Professional Learning Community for school. I found the writing style just bearable. He needs to learn to write himself especially if he is writing a book on Boy Writer's. The book goes on the premise that boys need to have freedom to write and can't be expected write the same as girls. I agree with some things but for the most part I felt this book was trying to give excuses to boys. Glad I am done with it and don't have to read it anymore. "

" The book spent a great deal of time telling me that boys and girls learn differently. Already knew that. Would have liked more info on how to work with boys since schools are more catered to how girls learn. "

" Giving boy choices about what they write about is crucial. Fletcher encourages teachers to think about allowing boys to write about what they like even though they are sometimes difficult for teachers to embrace (war, blood, bathroom humor etc.) "

" I used this book as a resource for a NWP paper, but it has become a resource for my classroom. Boys ARE different from girls for reasons other than the obvious! "

" Although I think some claims addressed in the book (about separating girls from boys) have some validity, at the same time, I liked the way Fletcher addressed issues of motivating boys to write. Great samples of boy writing in between chapters, too. "

" Learned alot about how to teach writing "

" Every teacher of writing needs to read this! "

" Another great Ralph Fletcher book about the unique needs of boys, but also invites discussion about ways to inspire and motivate all student writers "

" I must admit that I, being female, am more like a boy writer than a girl writer. This book helped me get a stronger understanding of that. This book has also helped me in conversations with colleagues, parents, and administrators. "

" ... i'm quoted in this text... ha?! "

" What a great book for teachers (and parents!!) of boys who struggle to write. Lots of good information to approach the school year. "

" A positive and encouraging look on the unique tendencies of boy writers in the classroom, including their use of humor and violence, and how to effectively reach them. "

" and reading again "

" Fantastic book which has helped me immensly in my classroom! "

" Yep. What Ralph said. He articulated how I can justify getting over the issues that I have with violence in writing. "

" This book is full of valuable information for all those who are teaching or attempting to teach boys to write. "

" Excellent book to get you motivated to empower boys in the writing process. This book is an awesome resource for 4th - 9th grade lang. arts teachers. "
