Comics are free, educational, and fun
A great free site that offers fun and education for families is Bitstrips.com. The site is designed so you can make your own comic strips. You can type text into speech bubbles with several font options. There’s plenty here for beginning writers to explore.
Bitstrips is simple to navigate. Children can become familiar with the click-tools in 10 minutes or less. Adults can let kids use the site on their own, and ask the youngsters for a tutorial later.
Whether you’re a teacher, a home schooling parent, a tutor, or even a babysitter, you can integrate bitstrips into a literacy lesson that lets everyone publish a final result.
