Earlier today, Reading With Pictures announced Comics Out Loud!, an event for teachers, librarians, and other educators on April 24.”Everyone who believes that comics are an amazing educational resource can participate by planning at least one activity involving comic books on Comics Out Loud! day,” said the nonprofit in a statement.They’re encouraging those involved with education and comics in education to sign up at their website to participate, which will get (some of) them a free copy of the Reading With Pictures Anthology, then to share their plans and events on social media to get the word out to other educators.Here’s their pitch:
1. Click here to sign up by filling out a short participation form. Reading With Pictures will email all participants free materials in early April to help plan their events. The first ten folks to register will get a FREE copy of the Reading With Pictures Anthology!2. Spread the word. Tell your co-workers, fellow educators, and friends that April 24, 2013 is a day to celebrate Comics Out Loud! Use the Twitter hashtag #ComicsOutLoud or post to Facebook that you’ll be teaching Comics Out Loud! on April 24.3. Show us how you’ll be using comics in your classroom or library! Reading With Pictures will be giving you great resources to utilize, but we know you have great ideas too, so let’s start the conversation and share what you’ll be doing on our Facebook page.
