On November 13, LiD was pleased to sponsor Dr. DeHart’s webinar that helped educators connect disciplinary literacy to comics. This was a follow-up to his blog post, Navigating (and Teaching) Among Streams of Meaning. Thank you, Dr. DeHart.
Comics, Complexity, and Thoughtful Literacy Connections
Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and deeply meaningful post on Comics, Complexity, and Thoughtful Literacy Connections. Your writing beautifully captures how comics serve as more than just entertaining stories — they are rich, multimodal texts that challenge readers to think across visual and verbal dimensions. By highlighting their complexity and value for literacy development, you make a compelling case for why educators should embrace graphic narratives in the classroom. Your insight is both empowering and inspiring — truly a wonderful contribution to literacy discourse.
