Since 2015 Dekko Comics’ Rossie Stone has turned education content into engaging and fun comic strips based on his own way of revising for his exams. He has used these skills and his creativity to support other learners by removing some of the barriers to them engaging with reading and learning.
Comics are still looked down on as not “proper” reading. But why Dekko Comics works with such a wide variety of readers is because they utilise more than just words to communicate even quite complex information.
They use visuals, storytelling, memorable characters and jokes to break up the information and create landmarks for memory. They are also super-fun, which always helps with motivation!
