What is this unit study about?

Graphic novels have produced some of the most celebrated works in all of literature. From the superhero adventures that defined American pop culture to intimate memoirs, laugh-out-loud comedies, and award-winning stories for young readers, the graphic novel is a medium that rewards careful reading, strong visual thinking, and a love of sequential art.

This unit is designed to be entirely age-appropriate. All books, creators, and examples referenced have been selected for their accessibility and positive reputation with elementary-age readers. The unit focuses on how graphic novels work as an art form — their history, vocabulary, visual storytelling tools, and the creative process — as well as introducing a range of celebrated creators and titles appropriate for young readers.

Throughout the unit, your child will:

  • • Practice counting, addition, and data skills
  • • Build reading comprehension and vocabulary
  • • Explore graphic novels as a distinct literary and visual art form
  • • Learn how panels, speech bubbles, captions, and page layouts tell stories
  • • Discover famous graphic novelists and celebrated books for young readers
  • • Develop visual literacy and critical thinking skills
  • • Create their own original graphic novel character and story panels
  • • Build confidence through hands-on activities and creative drawing
