New Site Uses Comics to Teach
MakeBeliefsComix.com
At MakeBeliefsComix.com, parents and children can create their own comic strips online and practice writing, reading and storytelling. Parents and teachers of autistic children are using the site to communicate more effectively with their children by creating comic strips to teach and convey information to them. The comic strips created provide a finite world with images and text that can be easier for youngsters with autism to grasp.
This free educational resource allows users to select from 15 different characters, each showing four different emotions, fill-in blank talk and thought balloons with text, and assistance from story prompts. Google and UNESCO selected MakeBeliefsComix.com as one of the world's most innovative sites to encourage literacy and reading.
