Comic+Strip+Generators

Kids love comics!
**Comics are a great device to use in your classroom to keep even the most reluctant readers engaged and motivated. "Comprehension, for some children, means that they have to be able to visualize what they're reading, and using comic strips can habituate them, or get them to think about that."**


 * Get students hooked on reading and writing
 * Motivate them by making homework fun
 * Spark their creativity - the possibilities for self expression are endless
