Graphic Stories to Enthrall Older Language Learners and Late or Remedial Readers
SPEAKING GRAPHIC STORIES are age appropriate, high interest stories for late or remedial readers and English language learners, from fifth grade through adult.
Graphic stories are short graphic novels, which have complex plots and characters and tell their stories with limited language. This makes graphic stories excellent material for older learners, whose intellectual abilities are well developed, even though their reading or second language skills are limited. We add lively and dramatic speaking voices to the graphic story, so that learners are engaged and motivated as they move through the story at their own pace.
Speaking graphic stories promote development of comprehension, vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency. At the same time, the computer technology is so simple that non-technical people, non-readers, and non-English speakers can use these stories on their own.
