Male trios consisting of a male significant figure, a struggling reader in elementary school, and a pre-service teacher were created. The goal was (a) to develop the student’s motivation to read by using a male reading role model and allowing the student to read what he truly enjoys in a non-school environment and (b) document reading practices as trios. To document the progression of four trios, we used a semi-directed interview, a focus group, anda logbook. The results of this multiple-case research study showed an improvement regarding the student’s motivation to read in the context of male trios, different reading practices inside the trios, and a positive evolution in the relationship between the student and participating male relative.  \nKeywords: family literacy, male reading model, motivation, father􀀐child relationship, community literacy  \n* isabelle.carignan@teluq.ca  \nBackground  \nThe “Reading with my buddy” project (Lire avec fiston in French) was initially created in Quebec, Canada to enhance the reading desire in young male students with reading difficulties or with no motivation to read (Beauregard & Carignan, 2010, 2012; Carignan & Beauregard, 2010) . It was a request from the school settings; they wanted reading projects with boys in elementary school to develop their interests, especially to counter school dropout later on. The project matched male students in Grades 3 and 4, who were identified as struggling readers, with a male significant figure and a male pre-service teacher. The objective of this project was to develop an enjoyment for reading not only by engaging the boys’ personal interests (Conseil canadien sur l’apprentissage , 2010), but also by including a male figure as a positive reading model. From there, “Reading with my buddy\" was born, a family literacy project that was later adapted to family and community literacy in Pennsylvania.  \nHistorically, young boys have struggled more in an academic setting than young girls have , especially when it comes to reading capabilities (Boerma et al. , 2016; Bouchamma et al. , 2014; Chiu, 2018) . In fact, boys have demonstrated a higher dropout rate in early year education when compared to their female peers (Cairns et al. , 1989) . Statistics Canada found that in the 2009/2010 Labour Force Survey, the high school dropout rate for boys was 10. 3%, which was significantly higher than that of girls at 6.6 %(Gilmore, 2010) . Dropping out in high school can stem from issues present in a child’s primary school education years. Whereas factors such as socioeconomic status play a large part, one cannot discount the effect that academic struggle has on the prevalence of school dropouts. Walsh et al. (2015) found that increased elementary school student support leads to a lower high school dropout rate. Prior research has indicated that young boys have a more negative attitude when it comes to school than girls do (Logan & Johnston , 2009) . A child’s attitude is an important factor that has heavy influence over their motivation, level of enjoyment, and achievement (Logan & Johnston, 2009) . It has been found that struggling in certain academic domains, like reading, has been correlated with increased dropout rates (Korhonen et al. , 2014) . Failing to complete primary school or even high school will seriously limit a child’s future oppor","cbCaitA4yeizrmB0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitA4yeizrmB0","pdf",198428,23,"English","# Abstract\n## Background\n## Project design and objectives\n## Rationale: motivation and gender-related reading challenges","[{\"question\":\"How are the male trios structured in the project?\",\"answer\":\"Each trio includes a male significant figure, a struggling elementary reader, and a pre-service teacher.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main goals of the family literacy project?\",\"answer\":\"The project aims to increase students’ motivation to read using a male role model and to document reading practices conducted by the trios.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the article emphasize male reading role models?\",\"answer\":\"It explains that limited male role models can reinforce the belief that reading is a female activity, which affects boys’ engagement with reading.\"}]","A Promising Family Literacy Project Based on Male Reading Models - Journal Article 2021 Vol. 30 (1) | PDF",1792080258,58]
