Literacy in the Lives of Young Men: Findings from an American Study.
Wilhelm, Jeffrey D.; Smith, Michael W.
English in Australia, n132 p17-28 Nov 2001
Highlights key findings of a study of secondary school boys' literate lives in and out of school. Suggests boys valued school in general and reading in particular, and that they pursued literate activities out of school in interesting and complex ways. Notes they often rejected school-based reading because it was not characterized by qualities of out-of-school literacy activities. (RS)
