Dicken’s in graphic form – Bah! Humbug!

Introduce secondary students to easily accessible classic GCSE texts

The next time you think your children are not concentrating because they are doodling in the margin, take a look at what they are drawing. Is there a purpose to their drawings? Are they a creative expression of what they have been listening too?

If children are word-reading but not understanding, graphic texts will help make them masters of meaning and inference.

By design, graphic texts have a low word count so won’t make an impact on reading speed or stamina but reading comprehension can be dramatically improved. The reason for this is that while the word count is low, there is still so much to talk about! Discussing the images will help children who struggle with word reading and comprehension.

Our visual, inclusive Graphic Revision Guides for key GCSE texts—support SEN, boost confidence and save teachers’ time.
Classics included:
– A Christmas Carol
– Dr Jeykll and Mr Hyde
– Great Expectations
– Jane Eyre
– Pride and Prejudice

Each guide transforms a challenging classic into clear, visual learning materials that support SEN and EAL learners, strengthen recall, and build analytical confidence. With comic-style plot summaries, focused key quotes, accessible context pages and ready-to-use activity sheets, the series is built to save planning time while improving pupil understanding.

Whether for whole-class teaching, intervention or revision, these guides help every learner engage with classic literature more confidently.

Because when pupils can see the story clearly, they can think about it deeply.
