Kids
Easy Graphic Novels for Beginner Readers
"Easy graphic novels are perfect for teaching new readers how to
read. The following graphic novels are great because they give
Fro ,+ Y contextual clues in the art work to help new readers decipher text to
gall `t learn new words. They teach who is speaking in the text through
the use of speech bubbles, provide action words to help with
{ r pronunciation and help train the eyes to move along a page from
left to right and down. They teach readers visual literacy while
looking at and evaluating what is going on within a single illustration
within a single panel. Each book spine has a special red
label within the Juvenile Graphic Novel Collection to easily spot
these titles."
