For improving early literacy, reading comics is no child's play

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:58:19 -0000

Carol L. Tilley, a professor of library and information science at Illinois, says that comics are just as sophisticated as other forms of literature, and children benefit from reading them at least as much as they do from reading other types of books.

Carol L. Tilley, a professor of library and information science at Illinois, says that comics are just as sophisticated as other forms of literature, and children benefit from reading them at least as much as they do from reading other types of books. - Tero Toivanen

Highlights and Sticky Notes:

If reading is to lead to any meaningful knowledge or comprehension, readers must approach a text with an understanding of the relevant social, linguistic and cultural conventions," she said. "And if you really consider how the pictures and words work together in consonance to tell a story, you can make the case that comics are just as complex as any other kind of literature.

Although commercial publishers of comics have yet to recapture children's imaginations, Tilley says that some librarians and teachers are increasingly discovering that comics can be used to support reading and instruction.

Mr. Robinson's Neighborhood : 7th Grade Humanities

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:09:59 -0000

This is James Robinson's class blog. It also hosts blogs from all of his kids. James teaches literature and writing at SAS (Shanghai American School). He's been blogging for about a year and a half. As you'll see if you visit this great example of classroom blog use, this blog rocks!

James is using Wordpress to create a website/blog presentation. He's happy to have teachers or students drop in and respond to the personal blogs his students have created.

If you're looking for a chance at an international student exchange blog connection, give it a look. (Heck, give it a look if you're just curious.)

The kids love to get comments from folks around the world so don't forget to be interactive!

~ Dennis O'Connor
