Graphic Novels Students Will Love to Read!

Graphic Novels are loved by all children. Why not teach with them? These newly released graphic novels will capture your students' attention. They will help you teach reading comprehension, vocabulary, and writing while building fluency too. Graphic novels can be used in guided reading, whole group read-aloud, reading center activities, partner reading, literature circles, or independent reading fun.

How to Use the Graphic Novels

Graphic novels can be used in so many ways. Because students love this format, a teacher can use these stories to accommodate his/her own needs. They can be used for reading comprehension. These stories are great for reading out loud together in class. Open-ended questions and task cards are used to discuss the story after reading. Students comprehend and retell better with the illustrations.

Students answer the comprehension and vocabulary student pages as part of their independent practice. Answer keys are provided for easy self-checking.

Complete guided reading lessons are provided for teachers using small groups. Recording sheets help you keep track of your students.

Another way to extend their learning is by using writing prompts or reading response questions. There are a wide variety of prompts to choose from.

One thing that your students are sure to enjoy is the step-by-step how to draw a character and the blank graphic novel templates. They will have fun creating their own graphic novels!
