About the Book

Today's reading standards require K-12 teachers to teach multi-modal texts that combine print and images. Teaching Reading Comprehension with Graphic Texts: An Illustrated Adventure shows teachers how to read, understand, and teach the unique vocabulary and anatomy of the graphic text format alongside traditional, print-based literature and content-area selections.

About the Author :
Katie Monnin is an assistant professor of literacy at University of North Florida in Jacksonville. She has presented nationally at conferences on teaching graphic novels in the classroom, image and print-text literacies, and new media. Katie is co-editor of Florida Reading Quarterly. Her book, Teaching Graphic Novels, was a finalist for the 2009 ForeWord Education Book of the Year! She was selected to be a judge for the 2013 Eisner Awards.

Review :
...engages readers and provides support for teachers as they integrate multi-modal texts in their own classrooms. . . .Mind-expanding and edgy, this is a terrific book to generate possible curricular and methodological changes.-- "Reading Today Online" Appropriately, this primer on how to read and teach graphic texts in today's classroom relies on text and illustrations to make its points. By first detailing the evolution of the author, Katie, as she sampled graphic texts, and then following her emerging ideas as they play out in the classroom, the book engages readers and provides support for teachers as they integrate multi-modal texts in their own classrooms. Divided into two parts and six chapters focusing on the importance of graphic texts in literacy as well as providing specific lesson for how to teach them, the book is filled with excellent information about the different features of these texts such as thought balloons and gutters as well as humor. Readers will enjoy the section devoted to the meeting of the League of Extraordinary Graphic Novel Gurus featuring Dr. James Bucky Carter, Jeff Smith, Scott McCloud, Will Eisner, Art Spiegelman, Marjane Satrapi, and Harvey Pekar, all influential experts in this area and either creators or researchers of graphic novels. Most appealing of all, though, may be the author's own admonition of her initial disdain for this type of reading, the interaction between the author and the illustrator, and the sections inviting readers to record their own thoughts on what they have read. Mind-expanding and edgy, this is a terrific book to generate possible curricular and methodological changes. - Reading Today Online http: //www.reading.org/general/Publications/blog/BlogSinglePost/reading-today-online/2013/06/12/reviews-of-new-graphic-novels-- "Reading Today Online"
