My high school students needed options to read during their independent reading time and these graphic novels were just the right fit. Our seniors are currently reading Frankenstein and it is helpful to have an abridged, updated version of the classic for the students to relate to the characters more easily and to compare the original dialogue. \r\n\r\nI teach students with learning disabilities and the pictures help to illustrate the most important concepts. The concise words in shortened paragraphs helps to reiterate the main topic while keeping the original integrity of the text. \r\n\r\nMy students are so excited to have so many options to choose from during independent reading time as well as to use for our novel studies.
