We were both exhausted and delighted at our first attendance, exhibiting at the Education Show at teh NEC last week. We are convinced that Classics Illustrated and Classics Illustrated Juniors have a major role to play within schools helping children to become familiar with these great stories and helping to develop their reading skills. Reluctant readers in particular should be drawn into our 32 and 48 page formats as many of our readers were when we were young. The school teachers and other representatives seemed to agree with us! We sold over 25o books and had over 100 people per day asking for more information. Tiring but worth it!
Jeff, I agree with you - schools need to buy into CI and CIJ!
ReplyDeleteI am a subscriber, and I get them for two reasons: firstly, to read myself; secondly for my children to read when they are older (they are currently 2 and 3!)
Keep up the excellent work, Jeff
