An interesting twist- [|now being used to support summer reading], encouraging children to retell favorite stories through their own cartoon stories (and have heard of this being used with children learning English, to retell current events stories.)

Heard good things about [|Sonic Pics], and found a [|tutorial] created by Suzanne Sallee, using Sonic Pics to explain/show how it works.
