Kids get a $2 discount if they read a book aloud to this barber in Michigan while he sorts them out. The kids also get quizzed on what they read. “It’s not just about reading, but also about comprehension,” said Ryan Griffin, the barber who created the program at The Fuller Cut barbershop in Ypsilanti. “It hit me like a book! I was like, that is so responsible to have these kids not waste their time just either sitting there doing nothing, or playing a video game. They can read,” Griffin told CNN. Almost all of Griffin’s clientele is African-American. He says he really wanted to offer his younger visitors books with a strong, positive message. Via CNN
