For over 25 years, Garfield creator, Jim Davis, has been encouraged by countless letters from parents telling him how Garfield has helped their child learn how to read. Numerous educators have also used Garfield and his comic strip friends as a powerful tool to teach and motivate children in the classroom. As a result, Jim has long held that the comics be not only a way to a child's heart and funny bone, but also a student's brain. Jim's vision was to create a learning portal where children would want to visit because they would have fun, express themselves, and learn simultaneously. Content ranges from traditional subjects, such as reading, writing and arithmetic, to career goal exploration, art and activities created expressly for kids with LDs. Who is Professor Garfield For? PGF offers fun, engaging and transforming educational content for school children between kindergarten and 8th grade.
