Students Can Create Comic Stips

Online Educational Comics Launched to Encourage Writing, Reading and Storytelling

An innovative, fun and free educational site for helping ESOL students practice writing, reading, and storytelling skills is available at Make Beliefs Comix.

This site can be used by educators to teach language, reading and writing skills, and also for students in English-as-a-Second-Language programs to facilitate self-expression and storytelling, as well as computer literacy. It is now being used in 160 countries by educators. Some educational therapists use it with deaf and autistic people to help them understand concepts and communicate. Parents and children can create stories together, print them to create comic books or email them to friends and family. Others will find the site a resource to be creative, calm down and have fun.

Try it out!
