- Images provide the context necessary to help build vocabulary for ESL & reluctant readers
- The slow pace of analyzing images and pausing in between panels encourages time to reflect and build reading comprehension
- Colorful graphics and exciting story lines can captivate attention span & interest
- Reinforces Common Core standards by reinforcing visual and verbal literacy
- There are now graphic novels & comics that are creative, enjoyable pieces of literature for all ages
