Help support Ms. Richardson's Classroom

Imagine opening a book and finding that you cannot read it. All around you, your peers are excitedly discussing the book and even reading the text aloud with ease! You however, squint at the page, trying to make sense of the jumble of letters to unlock the story that they tell. This is all too often a reality for students with dyslexia or other reading challenges, but I want my classroom to be different. I want all my students to have positive reading experiences with great books that they can actually read! In order to meet the diverse needs of all my learners, we need great books that vary in format and level of complexity. Graphic novels are a wonderful option for students with reading disabilities and for students who are just learning English because of the visual support they provide. We currently have just one copy of the graphic novel, Smile, in our classroom library and my students fight over it! Some of our most reluctant readers absolutely flew through the text and then came to me asking for more books like Smile. The graphic novels I am requesting would allow me to form classroom book clubs and provide my students with additional small group, differentiated literacy instruction. My co-teacher and I believe that access to graphic novels will help our struggling readers flourish! We also believe that these books will nurture in all of our students a life-long love of reading.
