" Reading don't fix no Chevys" : literacy in the lives of young men

Smith, Michael W. (Michael William) 1954- (Author). Wilhelm, Jeffrey D., 1959- (Added Author).

Summary: Based on research with a diverse group of teenage boys, this book looks at how the young men used literacy and what factors motivated them to become accomplished in activities they enjoyed. It explains why boys reject much of school literacy and how curricula and instruction might be adapted to help boys engage with learning.
