Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to highlight the designing of reading instruction specifically the web comics to assist students in understanding a text read. This is because the current practice in the teaching of reading comprehension focuses towards reading texts merely from the text books provided in the form of text and inadequate vocabulary of the students’ results in incapability of comprehending the particular text. Teachers need to be creative in designing reading instructions to be utilized in the reading classes to assist the average performance students to understand a text read. The webcomics are hoped to enhance the understanding of the text through the features of webcomics present in the text which represent the text including the vocabulary present. This paper presents the phases adopted in designing of webcomics to be used in reading comprehension classes.
