Make Beliefs Comix
Many educators and parents understand that playing aids learning. Teachers can use this comic strip game to encourage learners to improve language, reading, and creative skills. For those involved with teaching how to read and write or to learn English as a second language, makebeliefscomix.com can be an invaluable tool in achieving these objectives.
By writing dialogue for comic strips, learners can practice using new vocabulary words, engage in make-believe conversations, practice writing sentences, hone storytelling skills, and work independently or collaboratively.
Learners in ESOL and literacy programs enjoy printing out the comics they create – doing so validates their hard-won efforts and provides evidence for portfolios.
Educational therapists who help deaf and autistic people, as well as trauma victims, can use the comics to create scripts to help their clients understand concepts and communicate thoughts.
Creating comics can also provide engaging activities for family literacy programs.
The comic strip can also be used to create personalized greeting cards, stories for family and friends and to celebrate special times in their lives.
