[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 352256, member: 1991"] English teachers always hate comics. But we've found they have been marvellous for difficult child 3 - a comic book has social context, it has a lot of visuals, and of course it has text. difficult child 3 has always done better when he gets a "package". When you're dealing with kids whose imaginations work differently, you need to recognise this and not force them to begin with books that are pure text. After all, when we first expose kids to books, they are picture books first, often without text. Then it's text in large print and small amount, with large, brightly-coloured pictures. As the readers get older and more competent, they move on to fewer pictures, b/w pictures and finally no illustrations at all. So what's the difference with comics? Marg [/QUOTE]
