Comic books can hook early readers with cool illustrations and easy-to-follow stories. They can be the variety kids need to encourage them to read about important topics that were not as interesting when presented in other ways. They divide up the text into manageable chunks, supported by images, which help readers increase their comprehension through the connection between words and images.
