[quote=Anonymous]Every single time this comes up, people jump in with the "graphic novels are just as good and promote good vocabularies." That's not our take -- while we do allow the kids to read some graphic novels (even the dumbest ones), they're no substitute for chapter books. My oldest will read anything and everything, including classic novels. My youngest (age 8) is not like that. She usually just wants to read graphic novels, but she will read things like old Babysitters' Club books, the Princess Diaries series, and the Whatever After series. My rule is that if we're at a bookstore, I'll buy any chapter book she wants. She can use her own money to buy graphic novels if she wants to.[/quote]
