My Project

Over my years as a teacher, I have worked hard to develop my skills in getting kids to read. I am adept at staying abreast of the newest series, reading voraciously myself, and finding the thing that makes a kid want to learn, but one thing I still struggle with is getting kids to read nonfiction.

Science Comics are specially designed to be intriguing and exciting for kids, and adding them to my classroom library will add so much to our room.

By merging science with comics, the authors introduce kids to a variety of topics and get them excited about learning. Your generosity will put these amazing books on my classroom shelves.
