THE SHIFT NOBODY WARNS PARENTS OF BOYS ABOUT

Until about 4th grade, schools teach kids how to read: phonics, sounding out words, building fluency.

Then it flips. Even science and math word problems assume he can already read well. From here on, he must read to learn.

That's when boys who don’t love reading start to struggle. Not just in English class. Boys slip behind in everything.

So the stakes rise just as the window to hook him on reading starts to close.

The good news? He doesn’t need more drills. He just needs a book with Spartans, Redcoats, and fighter pilots. Heroes. Valor. Courage. 

Spark his love for reading today.

9 BOOKS: 2,000 YEARS OF HISTORY

Nine books: Ancient battles to the Vietnam War — more than 2,000 years of world history

BOYS DON'T REACH FOR SCREENS BECAUSE THEY HATE BOOKS. THEY REACH FOR SCREENS BECAUSE MOST BOOKS ARE BORING.

The right book breaks the screen habit— builds his mind instead of numbing it.

"My son's teacher said he needs to read more. His favorite video game was 
Call of Duty. So I bought this book and had him read a chapter a night 
to me before bed. His reading improved, and he learned about history. We 
ended up reading the whole series."    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  — K.L.

ONE LOOK AND HE WANTS IT IN HIS HANDS.

Tanks on the cover. A title that reads like a mission. He opens to chapter one — and the room goes quiet.
