// INTEL - THE REAL REASON

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— build 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.

// REPORT 02 - THE READING CRISIS

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. Suddenly every subject — science, history, even math word problems — assumes a boy can already read well. Suddenly, he must be a strong reader in order to learn.

That's why boys who don't love reading start to struggle. Not just in English class. They slip behind in everything. Because reading is now THE tool for learning — so the stakes rise just as the opportunity to hook him on reading shrinks.

Don't wait—spark his love for reading TODAY!

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.

WHY DOES YOUR SON AVOID BOOKS?

In many cases, boys find fiction boring —because the story is “made up” and didn’t involve world-altering clashes. Great Battles for Boys takes young readers to the front lines of world’s most significant battles. Boys get a thrill out of knowing “This stuff really happened!” They also learn about the leaders, strategies, weapons, and tactics that won (or lost) each battle.

Give your son true tales of life-and-death consequences and he’ll think reading is as exciting as any video game.
