Title: Female tutors best for boys' reading
Post by: chokkan 2 on August 24, 2007, 07:44:18 AM

The reading skills of young male students may improve more when boys are tutored by women, a Canadian study shows, contradicting some school policies to hire male teachers to improve boys' literacy.  (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070823/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_reading;_ylt=AjRtt3Yf1GObIaeffk1LKKntiBIF)

Herb Katz, an education professor at the University of Alberta, took 175 boys in the third and fourth grades, identified as struggling readers, and paired them with a research assistant who worked on their reading skills for 30 minutes a week over 10 weeks.

Fucking hell I KNOW THIS DUDE! He used to be on staff at the University of Winnipeg! I took one of his classes! :o

Anyway, his thing is DEFINITELY children's literacy and getting kids to read more/better. He knows his stuff but he can be a real douchebag sometimes.
