Comics in my classroom

I will be the first to admit that I do not like comic books. I have always been an advanced reader and loved reading so i didn't understand why people wanted to read comic books. As a future educator i now understand that comics are a great tool to use for discouraged or struggling readers. They are also great for ELL's and visual literacy. I could also use them as a way to better understand books that are hard reads. Using comics in the classroom is something i need to continue to research about because i grew up disliking them and i know that my preferences are not going to be the same as my student's.
