Description

Stories burst from the page in vivid colors and bold lines, and every panel is a gateway to a new adventure. In this Graphic Novel Book Club, learners explore the fusion of art and storytelling, where words are sparing, but emotions are profound, and every image carries a world of meaning. It’s a place where graphic novel fans or reluctant readers experience both literature and art as they engage with the special tales graphic novels can offer. This visual storytelling allows learners to fall in love with reading, eventually moving to more difficult, text-heavy books. As is true for all our book clubs, we view all literature from a Christian perspective, which is a very special way to evaluate and analyze stories.

The Power of Graphic Novels

Graphic novels have the power to captivate and inspire learners in unique ways. With vivid illustrations and compelling storytelling, graphic novels can enhance comprehension and engagement. For individuals with dyslexia or ADHD, the visual format of graphic novels offers a supportive and accessible reading experience. Through interactive activities and discussions, participants not only improve their reading abilities but also develop important social and communication skills. Further, the dynamic visuals help readers to visualize the narrative, making it easier to understand complex concepts and follow the story. Including visual cues and dialogue bubbles aids in understanding and processing information. This makes graphic novels an effective tool for improving reading skills and promoting literacy. Last, graphic novels can boost confidence and motivation. The visually appealing nature of these books encourages reluctant readers to explore literature more enjoyably and interactively. Combining art and storytelling creates an immersive experience that can spark imagination and foster a love for reading. In short, graphic novels are a valuable resource for neurodiverse learners, offering a bridge between visual and textual learning. They can engage, inspire, and empower these individuals in their literacy journey.

The Lemons-Aid Way: Our Approach to Teaching & Learning is Explicit!

Explicit teaching is a method of instruction students desperately need! It is the opposite of a constructivist philosophy whereby students ponder and explore to construct meaning themselves. Well…

Instead of leaving students to magically figure out how to write an essay, we teach explicitly, which is backed by a large body of evidence, and it’s how Mrs. Lemons teaches her undergraduate and graduate teacher-candidates in college to teach! We do it this way because it’s how kids learn.

Explicit instruction is “a structured, systematic, and effective methodology for teaching academic skills. It is called explicit because it is an unambiguous and direct approach to teaching that includes both instructional design and delivery procedures. Explicit instruction is characterized by a series of supports or scaffolds, whereby students are guided through the learning process with clear statements about the purpose and rationale for learning the new skill, clear explanations and demonstrations of the instructional target, and supported practice with feedback until independent mastery has been achieved.”
-Explicit Instruction: Effective and Efficient Teaching by Anita L. Archer and Charles A. Hughes.

Anita Archer trained Mrs. Lemons in workshops, and it changed her teaching. Read a little more about the research behind explicit teaching here and here.
