Someone out there knows the books I'm looking for....the ones that explain how boys' learning styles are different from girls' and how to best accomadate them in a homeschool environment? The only thing I remember is physical movement. I'd like some reading recommendations if you have any.

Thanks!

I am currently reading The Minds of Boys Saving Our Sons from Falling Behind in School and Life by Michael Gurian and Kathy Stevens.

It doesn't talk about the homeschooling enviroment, but does give parents and teachers some practical advice and recommendations to help boys learn.

I also recommend Dorothy and Ray Moore's books on homeschooling. They had many "aha" moments for me regarding the development of boys vs. girls and how gender plays a significant role in learning. I, of course, can't tell you any of the books titles b/c I read them several summers ago.

I'm curious to see what other recommendations people have b/c this is a subject near and dear to my heart.
