Abstract

This work addresses the comic book genre as a didactic resource to encourage reading practice among children and adolescents, aiming to make it a habit, considering its contribution to the teaching-learning process, enabling the development of skills and the expansion of knowledge. Reading plays a fundamental role in today's society, centered on the culture of writing, given the need to understand the world and the reality in which we live, as well as to process information from different types of communication. Therefore, its importance for assimilating knowledge available at any time and place is evident. This study aims to present comic books as an effective didactic resource for encouraging reading, as well as increasing vocabulary and enhancing world knowledge. Comic books are quite useful, especially in children's and young adult literature, since they make reading enjoyable and pleasurable due to the perfect combination of text and images, generally with humorous content and eye-catching images, stimulating the reader's creativity and critical thinking. The methodology used was based on bibliographic research from various authors, such as Waldomiro Vergueiro, Paulo Ramos, and Glayci Xavier. The work demonstrated the positive influence of this textual genre in terms of stimulating reading, enriching vocabulary, and intellectual development
