AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Graphic novels, also referred to as graphic narratives, sequential art narratives, or substantial comics, are gaining recognition as a valuable format through which to deliver fictional and non-fictional texts. In the process of exciting young readers and cultivating cognitive and creative communication skills for the future, graphic novels offer a format that is compelling, challenging, and rich in the visual and lexical grammars required by 21st century readers and communicators. This chapter considers why and how graphic novels should be integrated into primary classrooms. It will draw upon academic research that acknowledges the significance of this medium of expression.
