boys, blokes, books & bytes: all new look

Tomorrow we launch the toolkit for boys, blokes, books & bytes. Followers of Read Alert and CYL will know that we run pilot programs in a couple of Victorian schools. The toolkit, prepared by Erin Ritchie, draws on that experience to set out a model and ways of working that encourage boys’ participation in reading for enjoyment.

Glyn Davis, the vice chancellor of Melbourne University will launch the publication.

Archie Fusillo will also be here to talk about his adventures in reading and writing for boys.

The launch event is in Experimedia at the State Library of Victoria, 6pm to 7pm.

Meanwhile, the BBBB blog has had a timely makeover. Thanks to Erin, Byron and Heath.
