Maryland Schools to See Mickey and Donald

Schools superintendent in the state of Maryland, US has endorsed the use of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck in the reading classes for elementary and middle schools.

The state worked with Disney Publishing Worldwide and its educational division last year on a pilot project in eight third-grade classrooms. Disney took Maryland's reading standards and created comics-based lesson plans, incorporating skills such as how to understand plot and character.

The students loved it, educators said.


I would too! :)
