In order for students to reap the benefits of graphic novels, teachers need to first incorporate them into their classrooms. Graphic novels are not only a viable option to improve student retention of literature, but also the cornerstone of several potential lesson plans. The multimodal nature of graphic novels allows teachers to shape their lessons in new directions. When the validity of graphic novels is no longer a question, students and teachers alike will discover the countless benefits of multimodal learning.

This short edited collection by Maldonado and DeHart focuses on the legitimacy of graphic novels as an established and effective form of literature particularly useful in the development of literacy and fluency. Contributions include a brief but thorough history of graphic novels; the integration of critical literacy and visual literacy; and the essential place of graphic novels for K–12 literacy education in the classroom and multiple cultures. In addition to providing information and arguments to support the integration of graphic novels, the five chapters in part 3 include practical applications and instructional ideas for educators. These selections focus on specific and well-known YA graphic novels, including Alison Bechdel's Fun Home, George Takei's They Called Us Enemy, and Robin Ha's Almost American Girl, among popular titles. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; professionals.
