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 2 – Beginning To Read
A child should:
❤ be able to recognize a bank of common words quickly and be able to blend sounds together to make some words.
❤ be familiar with using beginner letter sounds and context clues to figure out unfamiliar words.
❤ sometimes correct his/her reading if it doesn’t look right or make sense.
❤ be aware of the need for a slight pause at commas and a longer one at full stops.

About this book:

In this book, you will find many famous and not so famous villains that our heroes fight against, such as Loki, Red Skull and Madame Hydra. You’ll also find the names of some villainous teams and locations.
