Do you believe that comic books can help people with reading comprehension?
>>156224566Probably, though not more than graded readers with illustrations.
At a lower level yeah.
It’s not gonna get you beyond a 6th grade level but if you’re behind that it can help
>>156224566Depends, old comics are fun to read even when I need to have a dictionary by my side. But there's modern comics that make me quit reading pretty fast.Oddly enough, I can read books with more text than the latter has, so I can't say its the quantity of words
>>156225414Old and modern comics are a chore for me.
>>156225414what older comics are you reading that require a fucking dictionary?
>>156224566You are better off with scholastic
>>156224566They help get you to enjoy the act of reading at the very least, and I'd say there's value in that.
>>156224566Yes. Very much so. I speak from personal experience. when I was a kid my reading level sky rocketed because comics made me want to read. Stan Lee had a thing to say about that.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIHbBf5fK3U
Illiteracy should be a punishable offense.
My niece was having trouble with literacy, so I got her a bunch of Tiny Titans tpbs for Christmas and birthdays, and she had a significant improvement at school.
Depends on the comic, some ways authors write would arguably increase illiteracy, whether by prose or by being bullshit.Tintin is a grand start to give someone.
Sure. I learned lots of words from them.
>>156226582Kirby, adventure/sci-fi pulp, things made before the 70s in general
>>156224566I suppose.
>>156230827You can't be serious.
More so with older comics, but I remember a lot of what I was reading always felt like it was punching upwards rather than downwards. Characters would speak in grand philosophical terms, quote Shakespeare and generally things felt more grown up. Now? Probably not so much. It feels like a lot of modern writers aren't the readers the older ones were and they have a bigger propensity to focus on being LOL WACKY.
>>156224566Yes, I learned to read because of Spider-Man
>>156224566Read proper books, bro
>>156228516What punishment do you recommend?
>>1562371417 hours of book reading a day
>>156230827Are you retarded? Or just underage?
>>156237536Followed by a book report.
>>156224566I'm a die hard comics fan but they don't have literary value. Hurts to say but even shit by Moore is eclipsed by something like Dahl's children's books
>>156224566Reading is for NERDS
