Children's reading proficiency is a growing concern across the United States. As educators and parents look for ways to encourage reading and writing, one creative approach deserves more attention: comic books.

If you’re new to visual storytelling, the terms comic book, graphic novel, and manga can sound interchangeable. While all three combine artwork and storytelling, they differ in format, structure, publishing style, and even cultural origins.

In reality, comic books are one of the most collaborative forms of storytelling. Creating a comic involves writers, artists, colorists, letterers, editors, printers, and marketing teams all working together to bring a story to life.
