Visual Literacy is important not just in a classroom, but in our everyday lives as humans. But, with visual literacy in the classroom, it benefits greatly with students who need a better understanding of a topic or text assignment.
In grades 1-3, pictures and comic style reading is appreciated and recommended for that specific age group so they can understand a text better than just using words. Using visual literacy makes the reader interested and more capable of obtaining information, especially the characters dialogs and cultures.
In grades 6-12, visual literacy can be just as crucial than those in grades 1-3. Visual literacy is used in charting or graphing, so students can actually see data increasing or decreasing and why.
Visual imaging is used to illustrate and represent an idea so everyone can have a similar interpretation of what is being presented in a power point or even something as simple as a film.
 Most examples of complex topics are in pictures to organize those complex thoughts we sometimes cannot grasp on to if we were to just  look at data with little to no visual examples.
Visual literacy is an important factor when it comes to teaching. There are endless benefits to it because it's been proven to keep uninterested students engaged in the classroom, and it also gives them some kind of drive to learn when pictures are presented in front of them.

 A detailed description of the text.  This book is about how the comic industry has changed the face of "visual literacy" in ALL subjects based on common core standards. The Common Core State Standards now explicitly recommends the use of comics in the modern classroom. It also gives examples of how they use the comics in readings, writing, math, social studies, language arts, and science.    2. Please explain why you chose this text. What was your rationale? How does your understanding of this text influence your thinking about your teaching. The reason I chose this book was because of the cover. It captured my eye and looked the most interesting when I was looking around the library. That is basically one of the reasons why comics are actually recommended, they catch the readers eye.
