Read with Pictures

Welcome to Timberdoodle's Macmillan collection! Experienced parents know that a child's reading fluency and vocabulary development are directly linked to the amount of reading they do. This is why graphic novels—once dismissed as lowbrow—have surged in popularity. While some may see comic books as a medium meant for children inundated with visual and audio stimulation, graphic novels can be a valuable tool for reluctant or beginning readers. The engaging illustrations found in Macmillan books make complex vocabulary more accessible, drawing children into the story and encouraging them to read for pleasure.
