CarTOON Maker for Elementary
I’ve mentioned my fondness for TOON Books’ comics for emergent readers before herehere and here. They are doing terrific work making comics/graphic fiction that is age-apppropriate and suited to the reading levels of our youngest patrons. Their online work continues to grow, too. The Benny and Penny blog and the online full-text access that reads aloud to students in multiple languages give our students online destinations that meet students where they are.
Today I learned about TOON Books’ online CarTOON Maker, which lets kids create their own one-panel comics featuring characters from the TOON Books list. This could be a great way to help students create dialogue, use computers in elementary fixed schedule as literacy centers, or much more.
