[Joybells]

I converted a non-reader once. He was 15, and had to read Wuthering Heights for school. He decided that the movie and the classic comic would suffice. He 'read' the comic, we watched the laurence olivier movie together, and then I rewound to a specific scene, played it again, and asked him to describe it.

"Well, it's a sunny, windy, day. Cathy and Heathcliff come out into the garden, and run across the moors to the crag."

Then I read a couple of pages of the book, covering that same scene, with all the descriptive beauty that English held at that period of writing.

"Hmmmmm" The boy started reading.
