Project X is a new generation guided reading programme especially designed to appeal to boys and help raise reading standards for all pupils. The Project X Handbook - Get the Boys Reading and Writing : The Essential Guide to Raising Boys' Achievement - is a short, user-friendly guide that draws together recent research and classroom experience. It provides strategies, ideas and practical advice on how teachers can improve boys' reading - and how girls can benefit from this, too! Compiled by experts and practising teachers, the Handbook supports the mission of Project X - to turn boys in to readers.
