Problem
Boys read 45% less than girls. Study after study supports the claim that boys are far less likely to read for pleasure than girls. Education experts are observing with rolling alarm large numbers of boys aren’t reading, and this fact is contributing to an achievement gap between boys and girls.
Solution
The books that I have written are made to engage young people like myself, specifically school-age boys with interesting and relatable books. My topics cater to boys' interests like true-life stories that include entrepreneurship, socialization, problem-solving, STEM, and more.
Target Market
My target market is reaching boys from the ages 6 to 12 years old. As well as, adults who purchased the books. Like, parents, uncles, aunts, grandparents, teachers.
Societal Impact
Next Steps

It will provide another element to inspire boys to turn a page of a book that teaches sight words and sounds and recognition in the hopes to increase boys' interest in reading as early as pre-K.
