Word Bubbles and Storytelling
Word bubbles are an amazing way to teach children the basics of storytelling. They introduce kids to key narrative elements like:
Character: What is each character like? What would they say?
Feelings: What do facial expressions reveal about emotions?
Plot: What’s happening in the story? In each panel?
Setting: Where does the story take place?
Dialogue: How does speech advance the plot and reveal character relationships?
The artwork is done, the characters’ emotions are halfway there—now it’s up to your little ones to fill in the blanks! Whether they want to practice their letters or get creative with the dialogue, these pages offer the perfect balance of structure and freedom.
Word Bubbles and Reluctant Readers
Comic books and graphic novels have become popular because educators recognize them as valuable tools for reluctant readers. Here’s why word bubbles are so effective:
Bridge between pictures and language: Word bubbles straddle the gap between picture books and chapter books.
Allow images to express emotions: Kids can use visuals to convey feelings when writing is challenging.
Tell a story beyond words: Helps kids, especially those with dyslexia, engage in storytelling.
Empower the visually gifted: Not all kids are writers, but many are budding cartoonists and visual artists.
If you have a reluctant reader, these Kitty's Day Write & Color Word Bubbles coloring pages are a great way to flex those literacy muscles!

How to Introduce Word Bubbles to Young Kids
Introducing young children to word bubbles can be a bit tricky. Here are a few tips to make it easier:
Read Books with Word Bubbles: Explore early reader books & graphic novels like Elephant and Piggie, Pea, Bee & Jay, and Yeti & Unicorn.
Explain what a word bubble is: Keep it simple. “This shows us what characters are saying or thinking.”
Talk about Tails: Explain, “This tail points to who is speaking.”
Ask for help: Let your child identify who’s speaking to flex their word bubble knowledge.
And of course, you can download this bundle of FREE Kitty's Day Write & Color Word Bubbles! Print a few copies so your kids can experiment and try different things.
Hot Take: Isn’t it CHEATING to use Word Bubbles?
No, not at all!
Using word bubbles still encourages kids to strengthen their storytelling skills. When deciding what to write in a bubble they consider the character’s feelings, where they are, who they are talking to, what has happened, what is happening and what will happen next. Word bubbles simply remove the pressure of having to write out their entire story in words.
Think of it like practicing dribbling at soccer practice or learning to add single digits. Developing these smaller skills will help kids work up to BIG things, whether it’s playing a game, solving an equation or writing a story.
"Developing these smaller skills will help kids work up to BIG things."
