Comics are a creative way to blend reading, writing, comprehension, and visual communication into one activity that students love. Pixton works across every subject, ability level, and every classroom. Pre-made activities make it ready-to-use from day one.

“Teachers can immediately discern how much of a story students comprehend by viewing their comics.”

Daniel M., Wisconsin

Literacy and Language Development

Pixton supports the Science of Reading with writing activities that help every student build phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension. When students write dialogue, they’re practicing voice and syntax. When they choose a character’s expression, they’re practicing inference. When they sequence panels, they’re practicing narrative structure.

“It’s a super engaging, creative way to assess students’ understanding of content and writing skills. So much work has been put into making it so useful, easy to navigate, and robust... I would (and do) 100% recommend it to other teachers.”

Amanda S., Utah

“For my ELL students, using visual tools is a way to show understanding in a different way. It levels the playing field for them.”

Bruno C., California

Every Classroom, Every Ability

An ELL student builds language skills. Developing readers use visual scaffolding, prompts, and creative decisions to communicate complex ideas with confidence. Gifted students demonstrate higher order thinking. All students can see themselves in the inclusive characters, costumes, props, and backgrounds.

Every student represented. Every student participating. Every student seen.

“I love the diversity provided by the platform, and it allows me to check for understanding in an enjoyable way.”

Beth S., Virginia

Makes Learning Visible — Literally

Teachers see a student’s full understanding, sequenced, illustrated, and in their own words. The visual nature reveals misconceptions, reasoning gaps, comprehension, narrative structure, and cause and effect. All in one activity.

Track progress, save for portfolios and parent conferences, or use as a formative check-ins or a summative project.

“I love this resource, but more importantly my students love it. They use it to show their learning, to express themselves, and to have fun. I have had many students ask to use it as a means of demonstrating their understanding of concepts.”

Christopher V., Ontario
