Yep, I’m sold!  I’m guessing that the biggest reason that this isn’t something implemented across the board is budget, budget, budget 🙁

I’m interested in the point you make about aliteracy – I think that is actually quite a concerning trend.  Perhaps I’m catastrophising a little here, but over a long period of time, entire generations could evolve where people who read for leisure could become a minority and I think that would be extremely sad!

By the way, I clicked a couple of your links about aliteracy – they aren’t opening in a new window.  Might be a worth a quick review and edit!
