Kendeou, Panayiota; McMaster, Kristen L; Butterfuss, Reese; Kim, Jasmine; Bresina, Britta; Wagner, Kyle – Grantee Submission, 2019
We present an integrated theoretical framework guiding the use of visual narratives in educational settings. We focus specifically on the use of static and dynamic visual narratives to teach and assess inference skills in young children and discuss evidence to support the efficacy of this approach. In doing so, first we review the basis of the…
