Benefits of Reading Comics and Graphic Novels for the Children

[Sponsored Review]

Both DaDi and I enjoy reading comics, so our children follow suit, and love to read comics. What are the benefits of reading comics and graphic novels for the children?

1. Learn to infer and be observant

Reading between lines is an important soft skill for the children to learn. Of course, other than finding the clues from the text, the children learn to seek clues from the cartoons.

2. Widen the vocabulary bank

Sometimes, some authors use more complicated words to make a pun or to illustrate certain intention. The children would be able to learn more vocabulary.

3. Strengthen family bonding 

As I mentioned earlier, our whole family enjoy reading comics. We share and discuss the interesting comics content, and this strengthen our bonding.

Currently, our children are reading Star Wars: Jedi Academy Trilogy Box Set from Scholastic.

About the story:

This series of  graphic novels follows Roan's three year at Jedi Academy where, under the tutelage of Master Yoda, he learns that he possesses more strength and potential than he could have ever dreamed.
