Some Teaching advice for Elementary Boys:
• Use beadwork and other manipulatives to promote fine motor development, and pencil grips if they have trouble writing. Boys are behind girls in this area when they start school.
• Place books on shelves all around the room so boys get used to their omnipresence.
• Make lessons experiential and kinesthetic.
• Keep verbal instructions to no more than one minute.
• Personalize the student's desk, coat rack, and cubby to increase his sense of attachment.
• Use male mentors and role models, such as fathers, grandfathers, or other male volunteers.
• Let boys nurture one another through healthy aggression and direct empathy.
