A little support through reading

June 2, 2007

As we all know, the proverbial dark side of media is that no news is good news. People crave news that shocks, appauls, and debates. Back in college, I learned the hierachry of a news lineup, and at the very end of a broadcast you will be “treated” to a light story intended as a diversion from all of the ugly news of the world.

I’m not here trying to re-route the news format, but I do believe we are deserving of some refreshing articles here and there. Upon navigating the internet for articles on kids communities, I stumbled upon The First Book Blog. This is a blog that helps children coming from low-income families discover ways to start reading. It’s true that literacy is often taken for granted, and it’s uber-important to recognize that there are kids out there that need your help with reading.
