| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the educational potential of TOON Books in supporting comic literacy among elementary students. It highlights the importance of incorporating graphic novels into guided reading groups to enhance engagement and comprehension, particularly for struggling readers. The authors emphasize that teachers need to understand the conventions of comics, such as speech bubbles, panels, and visual elements, to effectively guide students in their reading experiences. By equipping educators with knowledge about these features, the article argues that TOON Books can serve as valuable leveled readers that align with educational standards and foster literacy skills in a multimodal context.
