Summary: I Love This Book!
Comment: Stephen Cary has written a wonderful book for teachers of English Learners as well as for native English Speakers in the process of expanding their language.
Cary's years of teaching and learning language acquisition theory and practice as well as his love of children and wonderful sense of humor have helped to create a terrific teaching aid. New and experienced teachers will find a great deal to inspire and encourage them. The book is full of real teaching experience. I have seen him teach and the students are instantly responsive and engaged, while being immersed in using rich language. He is an inspiring teacher and his experiences and humor have created an inspiring and easily accessible book. It is practical and easy to use. You too, will love this book!

Summary: DON'T THINK TWICE! WHAT AN EXCELLENT TOOL FOR MOTIVATION!!
Comment: Herein lies a teacher's dream! A must read for anyone interested in increasing motivation in his/her students! Teachers love to get simple ideas to apply to class TOMORROW! This book sports teacher-friendly pertinent theory and tons of hands-on examples of how to use a very untapped resource and tool for motivation that demystifies reading and writing for students.
Stephen Cary's extensive background and interest in comics, his theoretical background in language education, and his experience with students and teachers who have used comics will assist teachers in accessing a "new" resource to utilize with all students, and especially linguistically diverse students. Whether it is to teach first or second (or third, etc.) language, young children or adults, the author's irresistible down-to-earth writing style and humor will make teachers laugh, address their realistic concerns about using a new resource, and provide them with relevant pictures, quotes, and anecdotes from fellow teachers and students who have used comics in the classroom! It will also give them an extensive list of resources to put this fabulous tool into practice. I give it a two thumbs up!

With Going Graphic, Stephen Cary has done it again, producing another exceptional resource for teachers of second language learners. But this time he focuses on a genre with great appeal to students, comic books, carefully tailoring his message to teachers' questions and concerns. He offers theoretical and research grounds for using comics, a wealth of historical and cross-cultural information on comics, and detailed descriptions of rich activities integrating comics, content, critical literacy, and social action. Who could ask for anything more?
- Carol Edelsky, Arizona State University Stephen Cary is a genius! This is a fabulous collection of comics-based activities with suggestions, rationales, and wonderful resources. It will be on my gift list for all my teacher friends. If you have second language learners in your classroom you will love this book!
- Gloria Norton, coauthor of A Jumpstart to Literacy Going Graphic entertains as much as it teaches. Stephen Cary offers all teachers effective, useful insights into language and learning that will help you turn not just second language learners but all students into readers.
- Jim Burke, author of School Smarts Bound to be the ultimate handbook on the use of comics, cartoons and graphic novels for teaching a second language, Going Graphic provides data to support the use of comics in the classroom, and the activity ideas to get started.
- Nancy Brenner, Librarian, Sequoia Middle School, Pleasant Hill, CA Going Graphic is a gift to ESL teachers and their students. This is the perfect book for anyone who wants to inspire rich vocabulary, discussion, and a sense of excitement in their students.
- Pam Heyda, author of The Primary Teacher's Survival Guide Going Graphic delivers comic relief for busy ESL teachers. Stephen Cary provides a superhero-sized selection of research-based practical activities teachers can use with second language learners at all levels, from square one to most advanced.
- Yvonne and David Freeman, authors of Dual Language Essentials Comics are a natural for second language development. Their unique mix of abundant, comprehension-building visuals and authentic text readily engages learners, contextualizes language, and offers a window into the culture. Yet despite their obvious advantages, comics remain unfairly branded as inappropriate classroom reading material, misunderstood and woefully underutilized. No more. In Going Graphic teachers will find a comprehensive guide to embracing comics and effectively using them in any multilingual classroom. Building on the latest brain-based research, second language acquisition theory, and progressive literacy principles, Stephen Cary offers twenty-five proven activities for comics-based instruction in all classrooms, especially TESL/TEFL settings, and for all grade and English-proficiency levels. These activities help nonnative and native learners alike meet a broad range of content and English-language development standards. In fact, Cary has given you literally everything you need to start successfully integrating comics into your classroom tomorrow, including: - an FAQ that dispels the myths about comics, tells you why they work, and answers your questions about using them
- field sketches from real classrooms that show you firsthand how to make comics an integral part of your multilingual teaching
- authentic examples of student work from a variety of grade levels and settings that reveal just how much students can do when given the opportunity to both learn from comics and create their own
- dozens of commercial samples to give you a sense of the remarkable breadth and depth of contemporary cartoons, comic strips, comic books, and graphic novels
