How to build readers with art

 

Legacy of Life by Howard Lyon
It's amazing what can happen when you combine art with the written word, whether it's picture books, graphic novels, or cover art. Not only does art have the ability to engage readers, but it improves comprehension and retention. 

Art speaks to our imagination and inspires. Learn more about the power that art brings to the written word in my latest issue of Worth & Soul of Words. Special thanks to Howard Lyon for is contribution to this month's issue.
