About This Lesson
Using the Garfield comics, this section of the Professor Garfield site teaches vocabulary building, comprehension, interpretation, drawing conclusions, sequencing, getting the main idea, and using context clues. Since the comic strip is laid out in no more than three panels, you can easily isolate a particular state-standard reading skill. There are the picture clues in each strip that will provide additional help for the emerging or challenged reader while working on these important reading skills. Beginning readers can even click below each panel, and it will read it to them!
My son loved this site. There were so many activities for him to explore.
