SHOULD children read comics? This is an old question, but one that is worth being raised again as evinced by a recent, badly-researched local television news report, which showed there are many misconceptions about the subject.
I am personally all for children reading comics, never mind whether or not the activity yields any educational benefits. I think children (and everyone else) should read for fun. That’s always my chief aim when waving a book under someone’s nose. You like it, you read it. If you get anything extra out of it, great, but the main thing is that you enjoy yourself.
