How to Use Graphic, Comic, & Humor Books
Graphic Books
The Cross-Text Lesson accompanying each of the Graphic Books provides tips for how to use the Graphic Book as an introduction
or an extension of the connected Reading A-Z nonfiction Leveled Book. Use the projectable or print version of the book for
whole-class, small-group, or individual instruction. Students can also access Graphic Books through the Reading Room on
Kids A-Z, or you can assign them to students using the Assign button.
Comic Books
These pocket-sized books use favorite characters, such as Mac and Tosh and the Monsters, to teach left to right print tracking, dialogue, and humor.
Humor Books
Humor Books can help you teach critical skills such as making inferences, determining author's purpose, problem solving,
understanding associations among ideas, and mastering language rules and how they can be broken to make fun. Students can also use Wordless
versions of some of the books to write their own jokes and riddles.
