EDUCATIONAL COMICS
A Powerful Teaching Tool
Comics are an effective and engaging way to communicate information on even the most convoluted topics. The combination of graphics and text use leads to better processing of subjects, and the use of visual narrative radically improves reader retention and provides a means of fostering discussion. Educational comics make subjects like science, history, and social issues more interesting and accessible, and can spark a lifelong interest in the topic. The possibilities are endless!
