It’s so easy to teach kids to love reading when there’s so many exciting comic books.
There are many things we love about comic books.
First – it seems that, unlike any other books, they transcend age. The beginner readers aren’t intimidated by them, yet the teens (and hey, even us) love reading them too. Because of this, we feel like we get the best bang for the buck when we buy a comic, because almost everyone in the family will read it.
Two – It gets beginner readers to absolutely love reading. They get hooked! They feel accomplished when they finish a book, even if it’s a comic book. The images help them read and understand in context and they build skills which transitions them to reading regular books and novels.
Three – You can read them over and over again and not get bored.
Four – They make education very exciting, and there’s so many books on topics that really enrich their knowledge. Our kids know a lot because they read comics!
That being said, we have a lot of favorites between all our households. Here are our kids’ favorite picks (we know there’s a lot!).

Are there any comic books that are written for girls? Or feature girls? My daughter loves comic books, and is happy reading “boyish” ones, but I’d love to have some with girls in them for her.
