Sullivan, M. (2009). Connecting Boys with Books 2. Chicago, IL: American Library Association.
In his hugely successful Connecting Boys with Books (2003), Sullivan delved into the problem that reading skills of pre-adolescent boys lag behind those of girls in the same age group. In this companion book, Sullivan digs even deeper, melding his own experiences as an activist with perspectives gleaned from other industry experts to help you 
§         Learn about the books that boys love to read
§         Uncover the signs that point to the reading gap
§         Find creative new programming ideas to match boys' interests
§         Establish a strategic blueprint for boys and reading
Drawing on more than 20 years of experience, Sullivan shows how to reinvigorate the sense of excitement that boys felt when they first heard a picture book being read aloud. (book description)
 
Jordano, K. & Callella, T. (1998). Phonemic Awareness Songs & Rhymes: Winter. Cypress, CA: Creative Teaching Press. 
Phonemic Awareness Songs & Rhymes is a complete resource book that includes dozens of interactive, theme-related songs and rhymes that help children listen to language and manipulate, or "play with" sounds. Each song is sung to a familiar tune based on a standard classroom classic, making it easy to incorporate the songs into your lessons. The CD includes instrumental songs and 37 songs from the book sung to the same tunes. 
 
Phonemic Awareness Songs & Rhymes also includes reproducibles, a helpful cross-check index to simplify lesson preparations, and reproducible activity cards that can be cut out and laminated to create a handy reference file of fun ideas. This is an all-in-one resource filled with engaging, interactive activities and silly, playful songs-a winning combination for any reading-development program!
