The stigma attached to the comics medium won't, unfortunately, disappear quickly. I've also encountered misunderstandings over the the term "graphic novel" as meaning "pornographic fiction"!

But we can at least make steps in the right direction by working to help educate the masses (rather than presuming their disinterest).

At a recent professional development day for WA-based school librarians, I was pleasantly surprised to find a great deal of interest in graphic novels, despite their relative lack of exposure to the medium. So...small steps, perhaps, but steps forward nonetheless.

Comics and graphic novels can be used as a "benchmark" to save what students already know what they have yet to learn, Xu says. For example, the comics and graphic novels can teach about making inferences, since readers must rely on pictures and only a small amount of text. By helping students transfer this competition, says, teachers can reduce the challenge of a new book.

Graphic novels engage both children and adults in a different way from a standard novel. There is a place for most in learning environments.
