Funded Nov 26, 2021My students have loved reading and looking at the graphic novels you so generously supplied for them. In the short time we have had the books two students have completed the eight book Amulet series. Each commented that they haven't read eight books in the last couple of years, never mind the course of a few months.
Most of my students' reading skills are two or more levels below grade level. The graphic novels have provided them the ability to enjoy reading stories of their middle school aged interests instead of "little kid" books. Because they are able to read books about topics of interest, they are more likely to grab a book to read than to wander around the room being disruptive.
Another plus to the graphic novels they students have enjoyed is that they can read the entire story in a matter of a week or less instead of it taking "forever." More than one student has commented that one reason they don't like to read is that it takes too long to get through a book and they forget what is has happened in the story. With the graphic novels this doesn't happen to them.”
With gratitude,
