Many parents think that they have a 'reluctant reader' when really they just have a reader who prefers books with more visual content, what we call a 'visual reader'. Graphic novels are stories written and illustrated like a comic. They are fast-paced, often funny and hugely popular with many children and not just 'reluctant' readers. Some parents may worry that graphic novels are “easy” reads or that it is “not real reading” but we completely disagree! They are a great way to grow confidence in reading, help show children that reading can be enjoyable and there are a number of graphic novels on serious topics too.
Graphic novels are more popular than ever – and it’s easy to see why. From laugh-out-loud favourites like Dog Man and Bunny vs Monkey, to epic adventures and even graphic novel editions of bestselling series, there’s something for every young reader.
