What is a Graphic Novel? Sequential art  and (sometimes) words  that tell a story
Why Do We Need Them?  “ For a young child to read a graphic novel, much less a wordless one, many essential literacy skills are required, including...
From “Graphic Novels for (Really) Young Readers”, by Allyson A.W. Lyga ...the ability to understand a sequence of events, interpret characters’ nonverbal gestures, discern the story’s plot, and make inferences.”
Why do we need them? Build multiple literacy skills
Provide reading transitions
Make curriculum connections
Why do we need them? Offer a varied reading diet
Appeal to reluctant readers
Pop culture feedback loop
