Gotta Love Cosby!

This past week I stumbled over an interview with Bill Cosby on the Today Show. There were a lot of points of conversation in this video, but what I found interesting was Cosby's words of wisdom on reading. Cosby has always been a wonderful advocate on reading and for kids being kids, but his words will never grow old. Check it out.

But first, an old clip [btw, just substitute "Western Michigan" for "Boston"]:


Anyways, on the Today Show, the interview went from his death rumors to kids today. With so much technology in the world and overwhelming situations, what's a parent to to do? According to Cosby, "You say, look, you need to put this [the game] down for a little while. They'll be plenty of time for that. This is a thing that is called a book and we're going to read the book. Because, I've found that children given the opportunity to be taught correct behavior -- good behavior -- and an education love reading books. They LOVE it!"

All in all, kids who read feel wonderful about themselves. And, reading does not make victims, rather, it creates winners.
