Abstract
This project focuses on enhancing reading comprehension skills using the construction
elements of the graphic novel medium by transcribing a literary story that has yet to be
visualized. Traditional literature in education uses mainly text however visuals are being used
more frequently in everyday materials such as textbooks. The transition of society is becoming
primarily visual and the need to become visually literate is more of a necessity. Remediation is
the act or process that involves improving the conditions of its predecessors. Books have been
adapted into non-text forms such as audio, film, animation, and plays. According to the National
Council of Teachers of English/International Reading Association’s standards for English
language arts, reading comprehension is best practiced using multiple tools because the preferred
learning style of individuals vary. As books continue to be remediated the graphic novel medium
has been gaining popularity and slowly being accepted as more than just a tool for entertainment.
Therefore, this project helps readers improve their reading comprehension skills by the page
compositions used in graphic novels.
