Graphic novels and the reading skill

Abstract:

The main objective of the present research is to motivate students to be reading lovers. As known, most people do not have the reading habit especially students. It is a big problem in the educational field because students do not want to read at all. For this reason, this investigation is focused on promoting students’ reading attitudes. This study was carried out at ECUATORIANO HOLANDES SCHOOL working with children from third level aged 7 to 8 years old. The unconformity that students have when reading was analyzed through this study, particularly when they must read topics that were unknown for them. For this reason, a new alternative for reading was presented to them and it awoke students’ motivation to read. The process that was followed when conducting this investigation was simple as it had three steps. First, a pre-test was taken to students, obtaining the result of 55, 5%. Then, the use of graphic novels was implemented in children. As the final step, a post test was taken; obtaining the results of 89.20% which was satisfactory. In that way, this investigation caused a great impact because the results obtained were grateful because there was a difference of 33.7% between the pre- and the post tests. In conclusion, it was proven that the use of graphic novels was an attractive way to develop reading skills since it encourages students to read any topic.
