Many of my students are strong visual learners or have low reading stamina and need texts to be broken up into small chunks. Many of them have become disheartened with reading because of the difficultly they have had in the past. I struggle to consistently find materials that will keep them interested in reading. Recently, I started buying some comics and my students LOVED them! They flew off the shelves. The comic books I am requesting for this project will help motivate my students to practice their reading skills. The TOONs books in my project are designed specifically with this purpose in mind. Their visual structure supports children in understanding that the books are read from left to write and top to bottoms. Speech bubbles facilitate a child's understanding of written dialogue as a transcription of spoken language. Not to mention, the stories are developed with a young audience in mind so they are age appropriate and highly engaging. Donate to my project and help support reading skills for students with learning challenges and visual learners in my 3rd grade classroom!
