Welcome to The Comic Book Project, an arts-based literacy and learning initiative at Teachers College, Columbia University.
The goal of The Comic Book Project is to help children forge an alternative pathway to literacy through the visual arts. By employing a platform that links creativity to learning, The Comic Book Project has supported children who are struggling with their reading and writing skills, including children with limited English proficiency.

The Comic Book Project encourages children to make a connection between what they write and what they draw, and it puts children in the role of creators, rather than merely receivers of information. Children write and draw about their personal experiences and interests, thereby engaging them in the learning process and motivating them to succeed in school and in life.
Please visit the Student Gallery and view some of the children's incredible art and writing!
