Graphic novels are enormously popular with readers of all ages and skill levels. Striving readers, English language learners, readers with special needs, and even advanced readers are drawn to — and can benefit from — the exciting stories that unfold in graphic form. 

The graphic novel format is compelling to readers who avoid traditional texts, and the visuals provide context clues that can help struggling readers decipher the text. Plus, graphic novels use more advanced vocabulary which, when paired with eye-catching illustrations, helps kids sharpen their reading comprehension skills. 

The complex plots and rich storytelling of graphic novels will keep readers of all levels engaged, and readers who struggle with language acquisition will increase their proficiency and acquire new vocabulary as they progress more quickly through graphic novels, with the sense of accomplishment that comes with each mastered page.

Graphix is a Scholastic imprint that has published bestselling graphic novels since 2005, including the Dog Man, Amulet, and The Baby-Sitters Club series.
