Comics
break through one of the most important reading barriers with kids, and
that is getting them interested in reading in the first place.
The
research shows that comics can inspire kids to read and
increase reading comprehension along with a number of other skills. What’s
more, even the comic strips can help children to learn sequencing of events and
how stores unfold in a visual way.
"Patrick Takes a Bath and Goes to Bed" by BP, 2014
- “Graphic novels can…help improve reading development for students struggling with language acquisition, as the illustrations provide contextual clues to the meaning of the written narrative.”
- “They require readers to be actively engaged in the process of decoding and comprehending a range of literary devices, including narrative structures, metaphor and symbolism, point of view, and the use of puns and alliteration, intertextuality, and inference.”
- “Reading graphic novels can help students develop the critical skills necessary to read more challenging works, including the classics.”
