Funded Feb 22, 2024Your generous donation has brightened up the lives of my students. Comic books and graphic novels make reading enjoyable. So many of my students are below grade level for literacy. Because of this, reading can be a demoralizing experience. Comics bring play and adventure back to the task and provide a second chance to struggling learners who are just to behind to fully benefit from the prescribed curriculum.
I'd like to tell you about one group of boys who have been enjoying your gift. There are four of them, all on different levels academically. One is reading at the high school level, one is on grade, and two are three grade levels below where they should be. All four of them love The Flash. This shared interest encouraged all to read the same series of books, sparking long and inciteful conversations about the characters and themes in the books. They also chose to work together in a group project to create their own super heroes and write their own origin stories. Without these books, those bonds likely would not have been forged. Be on the lookout for Comics for Kids 2, and thank you!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Ryan
