Comics and graphic novels can teach about making inferences, since readers must rely on pictures and just a small amount of text.

They found that like novels, graphic novels have a beginning, middle, and end as well as a main character that develops through conflicts and the story’s climax. “The most significant difference from a comic is that the graphic novel’s text is both written and visual,” Turner explains. “Every part of each frame plays a role in the interpretation of the text, and hence, graphic novels actually demand sophisticated readers.”

"The brain has little time for nonsense. It's a meaning-maker,

constantly searching for patterns,

connecting bits of new information to old,

fashioning wholes from parts and parts from wholes.

It's also shamelessly self-centered.

The brain makes sense of the world in terms of personal learner needs.

Relevant curriculum attracts and engages it."

They can address curriculum standards, motivate students to learn, enhance students’ learning, and provide additional opportunities for those who struggle with literacy tasks.

Comics and graphic novels should be seen not as instructional materials but rather as tools for bridging in- and out-of-school literacy experiences

"Use comics to teach such skills and concepts as narrative structure, genre, popular culture, homophones, characterization, even math and poetry, to students in kindergarten through high school."

Comics provide authentic language learning opportunities for all students.The dramatically reduced text of many comics make them manageable and language profitable for even beginning level readers."

“Manga are very popular with our students, so much so that many students are actually learning Japanese so that they can read the newest manga straight off the press, instead of waiting for translations.”

"...engage them in a discussion

of the nuances of visual language

to represent ideas. We invite them to tell the story and ask them lots of questions about how they know.

...it’s a way to teach important reading and writing skills.

Alejandra

I think comics and graphic novels are an excellent vehicle for teaching writing,

as a story has to be pared down to its most basic elements.

It is easy for the students to look at a short comic strip and identify story elements.”

Pauli

"Readers in the 21st century need to be able to analyze what they read and understand the motive of the author and the accuracy of the reading. They need to see themselves as active users, not merely vessels to be filled. Struggling readers

may get little of these experiences. Graphic novels offer a forum for these essential discussions."

"Graphic novels offer a means for representing complex material in ways that reduce the cognitive demand of reading dense text while portraying sophisticated concepts."

Comics and grafic novels "give the teacher an opportunity to bring youth culture into the classroom".

Florencia

Creating comics is a great way to encourage writing, reading and storyteling

Pauli

"Graphic novels offer a means for representing complex material in ways that reduce the cognitive demand of reading dense text while portraying sophisticated concepts. We don't believe that graphic novels should replace traditional texts, but rather that they can provide the teacher with a way of building conceptual understanding and academic vocabulary, thereby making subsequent traditional text more comprehensible."
