Pixton
The writing platform for every student, every subject.
Pixton is a multimodal writing platform for students to create comics, graphic novels, storyboards, and books by combining written and visual communication. It is designed to help students demonstrate understanding across subjects, including ELA, social studies, science, math, world languages, and more, without requiring drawing skills.
The platform includes an Activity Maker for creating standards-aligned assignments, Content Packs, Lesson Ideas, Story Starters, an Interactive Rubric, and subject-specific webinars. Students work with characters, dialogue, captions, sequencing, and visual choices to communicate ideas. Pixton supports the Science of Reading and evidence-based writing instruction, with activities aligned to national and state standards and major reading programs. It is intended for educators and students across ELA, social studies, science, math, ELL, civics, SEL, special education, and world languages. A free 30-day trial is available, and school-wide or per-teacher access can be requested through custom quotes.
