Transcript of Books & Culture course slides
"Badly drawn, badly written, and badly printed - a strain on the young eyes and young nervous systems – the effects of these pulp-paper nightmares is that of a violent stimulant. Their crude blacks and reds spoils a child's natural sense of colour; their hypodermic injection of sex and murder make the child impatient with better, though quieter, stories. Unless we want a coming generation even more ferocious than the present one, parents and teachers throughout America must band together to break the `comic' magazine."

Anthony Grafton, “Future Reading”
"For now and for the foreseeable future, any serious reader will have to know how to travel down two very different roads simultaneously. No one should avoid the broad, smooth, and open road that leads through the screen. But if you want to know what one of Coleridge’s annotated books or an early “Spider-Man” comic really looks and feels like, or if you just want to read one of those millions of books which are being digitized, you still have to do it the old way, and you will have to for decades to come."

Imagine you have an internship with a state legislator interested in literacy issues.
She has asked you to give a short presentation summarizing what the research says about youth and reading. Using data from these two studies, how would you summarize their findings? Which findings would you point out are contradictory or problematic?
She really likes bullet points. If you were to summarize these findings in four or five bullet points, what would they say?
