The Best Graphic Novels for Grades 1-2

Nov 19, 2020

Kids love graphic novels! Not only are they a fantastic way to engage reluctant readers and help build important reading skills, they’re a great stepping stone for helping students transition from picture books to chapter books. 

Packed with humor, adventure, and drama, titles like Bunbun & Bonbon, Squidding Around, and Owly share one significant feature: compelling (and often hilarious) visuals that draw reluctant readers into the stories, while helping students who are struggling with language acquisition improve their reading development and build their vocabulary.
