Books
• Graphic novels
• Novels in verse
• Picture Books as Mentor Texts
Graphic Novels
The brilliant thing about the graphic novel is the way they
offer dyslexic readers several different cues to the
story. If a reader gets snagged on the vocabulary or
storyline of a graphic novel, illustrated pages offer
contextual cues to help decipher meaning. But don’t be
fooled; strong readers love the graphic novel as well. The
attraction can be likely be explained by the enjoyable
format.
