Growing A Reader – The reluctant reader
Some kids can be reluctant readers. Finding the books that ignite their interest and passions can be tricky. Finding the ‘hook’ book that gets them into reading can be a challenge, but it is certainly one that is worth pursuing.
Comics and Graphic novels can be some kids entry point into reading.
Generally, both graphic novels and comic books share their stories using a visually based comic strip format. But where a comic book is generally a serial based periodical – with an ongoing story shared across regularly released issues, graphic novels tend to feature a more detailed, involved story shared in entirety within the one volume.
Whilst both comic books and graphic novels predominantly share fictional stories, more and more diverse titles are appearing, including personal memoirs, historical tales, and even non-fiction, factually based texts.
A list of graphic novels and comics your kids may love can be found on Brightly. Or just come and see me at the library and we will see what we can find that might take your interest!
