We’re loving Michael Spradlin’s guest blog at Imagination Soup about “The Kid Who Doesn’t Like to Read (TKWDLTR) Syndrome” and his proposed comic book cure. Comics as exciting, vocabulary-building reading that will keep kids engaged—why not? As Michael says, in the face of the literacy crisis among kids, “Any reading is good reading.” We concur! High literature can always follow.

Thanks for posting. This is something I feel quite strongly about. In fact, because of the post, I was contacted by the chairperson of the International Reading Association Kid Lit Committee and asked to develop a presentation on this topic for their next convention. I say we can use the power of popular culture to our advantage if we’re smart about it. Thanks for posting the link.
That’s great about the presentation! Keep up the good fight!
