Comic Con Kids
Over at Blog@Newsarama, a librarian comments on comics as an educational enterprise:
Lots of educators are starting to use comics in the classroom. The average superhero comic book issue has roughly 2,000 words. Imagine reading just one comic book a day for a year; you will have read 500,000 words! That's the equivalent of 25 children's or teens' books. That's a lot of words.
Equally important: the kid learns basic principles of graphic design and storyboarding, which are as important to literacy today as words.
