[quote=Anonymous]My one son loved the Encyclopedia Brown series. The stories were relatively short and he focused on the puzzle/mystery rather than the text. By being interested in the text he was able to overcome the overwhelming nature of seeing all that text. The other son needed the graphics novels because he learns more visually. Having the cartoons to go along with the text made reading easier for him. It took him longer to move to chapter books (5th grade) and that's okay. Now in 6th grade, he reads voraciously and is less intimidated by text vs pictures. So anything that gets the reading (including graphics novels) is good. Let your student adapt at her own pace. If she finds chapter books with text only to be overwhelming, then keep finding other graphics novel type books. She'll get there when she's ready. Just keep her reading.[/quote]
