Getting Our Kids to Love Reading!
Funded Nov 30, 2022
I want to thank you so, so much for helping me inspire my students to become life-long readers. I get so excited when I see "that light coming on" and students finally finding the perfect text to open the door to all the worlds that reading will give them. Each issue of the Scholastic magazine will given them a different viewpoint, a different topic, and a different chance to see how reading is interesting, worthwhile, and fun! Again, thank you for opening their eyes to the wonderful world of reading.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Yablon
This classroom project was brought to life by an Anonymous Classroom Supporter and 4 other donors.

As part of a larger, thematic unit on differences, beliefs, and societal actions, students will learn about and gain an understanding of various groups throughout history -- with the use of novels as primary reading materials (supplemented, of course). Special focus will be on handicapped people (Wonder), Asian-Americans (Farewell to Manzanar), African-Americans (One Crazy Summer), Muslims (Persepolis), and Jews (Maus I&II). Recent PEW surveys show that two-thirds of millennials and those younger do not know anything at all about the Holocaust -- I want to change that. Through the use of an easy-to-read, but serious content, graphic novel focusing on Nazis and the Jews during WWII, I want to broaden the awareness of my students in an accessible way for them. Graphic novels have recently tackled serous subjects, and I think this is an ideal vehicle to attract students who don't normally find reading invigorating and worthwhile. Through the use of "comics," I want "to trick them into learning" and spark an appreciation and interest in reading.
