I chose to add the feed from Graphic Novel News (at bottom of blog) as I see graphic novels as a way to bridge the gap for reluctant readers. I believe graphic novels appeal to boys in part because they seem to be less intimidating.
Graphic novels are a new concept to many parents and teachers, therefore, making it hard to make recommendations. My hope is the better educated adults become with these novels the better our ability to relate to our reluctant readers.
Adults are quick to make assumptions about "comic books" when, in actuality, many graphic novels are high-quality and worthy of our attention. For more information on the use of graphic novels, please see The Graphic Classroom blog.
