Multiliteracy - Graphic Novels

Why is he reading a graphic novel instead of a REAL book?
Hey, this is a great story!
Actually, a graphic novel IS a real book!
Maybe to someone who can't read..
I CAN read!
Graphic novels can be useful to readers of all levels. They bring text and images together to help make meaning.
The words and pictures really help me follow the story.
I don't know...
And they hold my interest and foster my love for reading!
Reading a graphic novel uses and develops our essential literacy skills.
We develop inference and literacy skills that apply when interacting with photos, paintings, and other people.
Hmmm..
Combining traditional and visual literacies teaches new perspectives on elements and cues that aid comprehension.
Let's all try it. Who knows? It might be just right for you as a learner.
I'll try anything once...
We all make meaning in different ways. Maybe graphic novels are YOUR key to developing as a reader!
Oh wow. I've been missing out. This is really going to up my literacy game!
Hooray for graphic novels!
