This program has been developed specifically for boys between the ages of 9 to 12, and will include the following elements :

• reflect their personal interests and their self-image

• involve action

• allow the boys to feel success through rewards and their relation to their peers

• be fun

• be focused on a purpose

• capture their imagination, often through superheroes and fantasy figures

• include a range of reading material from books to newspapers, magazines, comics, fiction and non-fiction

• involve technology.
