This is a fantastic way of students using the Visualising comprehension strategy (from the Super Six comprehension strategies - for those who have done Focus on Reading).
It is also a great way for ESL students to make sense of what they have read - or what has been read to them - visually.
Toondoo is free to sign up and super easy to use.
Last week I used Toondoo with a year 3 class to do a group narrative that focused on direct speech. We made the comic strip with the direct speech and in our next lesson we will turn the speech bubbles into direct speech with quotation marks and then place them into a narrative we will write together.
