Real Men Read – Statistics show that boys in grades four through six are more interested in sports than books, so basic skills teacher Marilu Bicknell came up with a plan. Boys at Thomas E. Bowe Elementary School in Glassboro are targeted with a program called Real Men Read Literacy Project. Male role models in the school and community participate in a kick off breakfast, pose for posters that are displayed at the school and the local library, and serve as examples of strong men who love books.
