Jan. 27 is Family Literacy Day in Canada

In an article to mark the day Canada's best selling children’s author Robert Munsch tells us how Calvin And Hobbes comic books help him to get his son involved in and enjoying reading…



"My son Andrew is living proof that this works. When he was learning to read he had some difficulty. It wasn't until he discovered the Calvin And Hobbes comic books that his reading took off. This is a comic strip about the smallest kid in the class, who is a bit of an outcast. My son Andrew, the smallest kid in his class, could relate to this. So when he found these books he said, "I have to learn how to read this," and he did. These books were not "easy readers," but he learned to read them anyway because he wanted to.">>>

A personal not on the topic of literacy: If your child or someone you know is having problems reading due to 'dyslexia' then may I suggest, as a dyslexic, you check out Rod Davis’s work in the area. I can’t guarantee the man is 100% right. But, he has a remarkable success record, and having recently read one of his books on the subject I’d venture to say he’s right on the money about the nature and mechanics of the so called disorder.
