Many students are reluctant readers, and graphic novels give them confidence to build their reading skills with high interest, age-appropriate, and relevant content, without intimidating them. These graphic novels will help to build their literacy skills, using higher critical thinking invoked by the graphic novel format of making inferences between each animated, color block. The goal will be to increase reading, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension skills from these books, as well as build a love for literature. This can be accomplished as more books get into students’ hands to take home.
