"Boys will be boys, but that doesn't mean they can't appreciate a good read.
At two middle schools in Escondido, boys are taking one lunch break a week to read and discuss books, stories, graphic novels and even song lyrics with one another and two adult volunteers.'I joined it because I was interested in the articles they had to read,' said Del Dios eighth-grader Jose Agundez. 'It's pretty chill. All my friends are here.'
His eighth-grade friend, Ezequiel Ramirez, said he didn't like reading before joining the group.
'This makes it fun,' he said. 'They make you understand the stories.'"
