Boys into books
The DCSF has specially commissioned the School Library Association to produce two booklists in their Riveting Reads (link opens in new window) series, to support the reading needs of boys in Key Stages 1, 2 and 3. The Boys into Books project aims to provide information about titles which might attract and enthuse boys about reading for pleasure.
Boys into Books 5-11 (link opens in new window) aims to support the reading needs of boys aged 5 to 11. It was officially launched by Schools Minister Jim Knight in June 2008. Boys into Books 11-14 (link opens in new window) concentrates on boys in Key Stage 3. From mid-May until mid-September 2007, state schools in England having at least 20 boys of this age group were able to order 20 titles from the booklist, free of charge, as well as specially-designed supporting materials (posters and postcards).
Additionally, in early 2008 local authorities in England were provided with funding to buy books from the 11-14 booklist for boys in pupil referral units.
