We have not discussed graphic novels before and I think it is high time. I have an 8 year old boy who loves them so I can't figure out why I haven't mentioned them before. If you aren't sure what a graphic novel is, imagine the comic books you read as a kid mixed with some of the best novel stories you remember...you've got a graphic novel. I recently ran across a blog post that made me fall in love with this type of literature, simply by discribing their children's love for them.
Over at Dinner and a Love Story you are going to find a list of graphic novels that the author highly recommends. I have loaded up my Amazon cart.
Anything you can introduce your child to in order to encourage reading is A-Ok with me. The struggling reader is going to love this type of reading. Relax, reading is supposed to be fun. Life is too short to read a book you don't like and the same goes for your child.
