Greetings,
We have developed comic books with sports figures as heroes. This not only engages the students but it allows the sports figures to give back and immortalize their talents. We teach these in the classroom and are seeking partners across the country to assist in getting our comic books in their classrooms. I look forward to hearing from you all on partnerships to improve education.

I feel enough has been said and agreed upon regarding the use of comic books in education. Can we finally have a judgement in conclusion that comic books ARE a useful tool with regards to education period

Hi, Im a teacher and am looking into using comics in the classroom. There is a program called Comic Life that the children can use to construct their own comics. Its a bit like using publisher but child friendly and is especially for comics. We have the package in school and i plan to use it next term.

I think this is great. Not everyone learns the same way, so anything that opens up new avenues in learning is a positive in my mind. If its comic books, so be it.

I used this last week for teach fluency to my 2nd grade summer school class. I’m in college now to get my teaching degree and i did it for a class. I would like others input on if its effective in the long run.

Cannot see any fundamental difference between education using comic strips and watching television with sub titles, only that the former might encourage greater creativity through emulation. Progressing a story or educating using cartoon drawings can be very effective and is in the reach of every student to do themselves.

It is great to hear from you guys that comic books or graphic novel is an effective tool for teachers in teaching the children to read and write.

Preschoolers’ story and picture books a filled with illustrations and photographs. For the higher level readers this is just a matter of ‘book’ page layout. Simply put,very comic frame is a picture clue.
I go for this medium of reading instruction.
