"Teachers at
every grade level have discovered that engaging children in book making
has the power to motivate even the most reluctant writers. By creating a
combination of graphics and written text, children engage in a kind of
communication that transcends the sum of its parts -- their pictures,
use of color, and words interact to convey messages with a new level of
meaning (Hubbard, 1990; Johnson, 1997).
Book making has been credited with helping to increase students’
self-esteem, as well as their ability to organize their thoughts and to
think critically (Bailey, 1995, online abstract)." (http://www.readingonline.org/newliteracies/guzzetti2/)
