But I think together with strong visuals, a good storyline makes a compelling read. So, of the better graphic novels I've read might not have very strong visuals, but their storyline is outstanding and that's what draws me to read them.</p> Hi Rhaimie,

Thanks for your comment.

Yes, it’s quite true that boys respond better with strong visuals in books. But I think together with strong visuals, a good storyline makes a compelling read. So, of the better graphic novels I’ve read might not have very strong visuals, but their storyline is outstanding and that’s what draws me to read them.

Children, especially boys, respond to stories with strong visual elements! Compelling pictures make them want to know more about the words that accompany the images. Graphic novels can fulfill these criteria and is the way forward as they can act as a literacy and literary bridge.</p> <p>Graphic novels offer appealing stories and engaging visuals that reach out to reluctant readers, visual learners, and others who may shy away from traditional, print-heavy books.
