As the middle school years approach, struggling readers begin to shy away from reading books that look vastly different from what their peers are reading. They're afraid of being teased by their classmates, they're bored by the juvenile subject matter, and they just don't see why reading is such a big deal. When older students are struggling to read, they can get frustrated when their classmates are reading books that look exciting and intriguing, and they're stuck with the same basic "learn to read" books they've been looking at since first grade. Enter graphic novels. With visual supports and reduced text demands, graphic novels allow many struggling readers to access texts that look just like their peers' favorite books. I want my students to receive all of the skill-building support that they need, but also be motivated to read books that are entertaining, accessible and fun.
