3. Comic books are often an effective way to
teach children about various aspects of the
world around them. First, they are accessible
and appeal to a wide range of age groups
from kindergartners to high school students.
Second, comics are colorful and visually
appealing, which keeps readers entertained
and engaged while providing educational
value at the same time.

4. Comic strips feature various literary techniques
such as setting the plot, building conflict and
dramatic tension, working up to a big climax,
and writing a satisfying resolution. They are also
a particularly good way to introduce satire and
irony to children who have not encountered or
grasped these concepts before. These ideas and
techniques are an important part of many
writers’ toolkits, and comic books can get
students to understand and use them with
greater ease, helping them become better
readers, writers, and thinkers.
