There are a few fundamental reasons that boys don’t read. First, schools don’t teach the technical skills needed for reading, such as grammar, vocabulary, and logic. Thus, when boys do read, they read only texts with simplistic grammatical structures, such as manga.

Boys who do have the verbal and analytical skills for reading run into a second problem. There just aren’t that many books written for boys today. Publishing is run almost entirely by women. Literary gatekeepers are also almost all women. For that matter, most English teachers are women. Thus, there is an endless supply of modern books for every personality type of girl, and nothing approaching that for boys. Even popular modern male authors, such as John Green, write books that are far more appealing to girls than to boys.

Boys can read books that were written decades ago, but at that time publishing was centrally controlled and there were far fewer books published per year than today.

We have programs for ages 10-15. To learn more, schedule a 100% free consultation here.

Page One Reading courses are individualized and nonlinear. Students work independently and at their own pace. Each student works on what he needs to work on.

What that means for you is this: if you miss a class, it doesn’t throw anything off. If you need to miss a class session due to a game, it’s not a problem.

But at the same time, our class is procrastination proof. Any session can be rescheduled for free…once. The second time, you pay a modest rescheduling fee. What that means is this: attempts to procrastinate forever get defeated. Your son will be in class, reading and learning, 4 hours per week. If he has a game, he won’t get left behind. But he will not be defeated by procrastination.

Classes are done in 12-week blocks. Class meets four hours per week. In those four hours, we’ll accomplish more than 40 hours of school.

A complete program is usually 3-6 blocks, depending on the student’s learning speed. Each 12-week block costs $1800.

Our classes are online and use our own proprietary video chat rooms and learning tools. The name of our system is Tailored Class, and it can be seen at www.TailoredClass.com.
