The Kids' Corral
"I always say that comics are the gateway to books".
I talked to Becky Franks-Cassidy at the Kids' Corral, a unique, 5000 square-foot, family-friendly area at the 2014 Denver Comic Con. Children and their families can spend time learning new and creative activities, especially making comic books. Becky is a former speech pathologist, and says she uses comic books to help children with autism and other challenges to learn through comic books. The comics help take away the intimidation factor of reading, and then eventually the comic book "gateway" helps the children to arrive at books, literature and higher learning.
