Comics That Keep Kids Occupied By Reading For Fun
Meet the comics that have kids across the globe reading & learning out of their own enjoyment
As the impact of COVID-19 continues to escalate, parents across the country (and beyond) are preparing themselves for unknown weeks of social isolation.
With at least 64,000 public schools closing their doors come Friday, some parents are feeling the pinch of how on earth they are going to keep their children occupied, while also having concerns about how this will affect their education.
But if you are one of those parents wringing your hands, fear not — as we have something that can help:
Meet the comic books that have got children reading and re-reading for fun as soon as they open the first page, (including children with dyslexia, autism and ADHD).
One 10-year-old with dyslexia told her mother that she found these comics “like being in a ditch: so easy to get into but so difficult to get out of!”
But there’s a bonus: these comics are also educational! They cover the KS2 curriculum (ages 9-12) with lessons in Maths, Literacy, Science, History, and even Language-Learning.
This sneaky educational bonus hasn’t stopped children of all ages from getting hooked though, as the comics adopt a policy of “fun first” to make the school subjects not feel like school at all.
As a result, Dekko Comics have found a welcome place in home, school, and library reading alike — and have even received large orders from Finland, Australia and the USA.
The name ‘Dekko’ is actually an old word that means to take a look at something. “Once readers take a dekko at it, they don’t want to stop,” says founder Rossie Stone, who based the comics off a study technique that he used to help with his studies.
There are 12 Dekko Comics issues currently available, each with 24 pages of comic stories plus additional pages with extra material and puzzles.
