I bought a whole bundle of books about The Avengers, believing that they’re graphic novels. They are, in fact, series to support children in developing their reading habits. So I thought to myself, this would be a perfect opportunity to share them here, and perhaps it will be your child that it may help.
There are 14 books in this bundle, and the theme of these books are The Avengers and the Marvel Universe. The books are split into three levels (Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4), and they all encourage young readers to read more. The books are published by DK publishing. Don’t forget to check the official DK website, to find out more titles that match the level preference.
The child will read about the heroes, their back stories, their abilities and their biggest enemies. The writing is simple and concise, supported with images. Almost every page has a special part that is separated from the main paragraphs, including “special important information” about the hero/villain etc. This is a nice way to break long paragraphs and to intrigue the readers. Also, at the end of each book, there is a glossary page, and occasional quiz or additional fascinating facts.
Level 4 – Reading Alone
A child should:
❤ be able to read independently and silently for extended periods of time.
❤ read aloud fluently, with expression, with the listener in mind.
❤ respond to what they are reading with an enquiring mind.
❤ be discriminating about what they like to read and what they don’t, and be able to explain the reasons why.
About the book:
A book which tells the story of Spider-Man, but in a different way. This book has dialogues as well as a comic book style images. For young readers, this book will give the “original Spider-Man” vibe, and you’ll feel as if you’re reading a comic book.

Children's introduction to Spider-Man. Came with the Blu-Ray of the second Spidey film in the MCU. To me it reads a bit young (5-8?) for kids who'll be watching that film, but there you are.

This book is called The Amazing Spider-Man. It talks about the life of Spider-Man,and the vilens he has faced.Also how he became Spider-Man,too.It also gives you side information,like it tells you facts about the spider that bit him,or even information about the vilens.It's an ok book,and I would read this book if I were you!
