My Project

I encourage lots of independent reading time in my classroom, and I expect my students to read from a range of genres. I try to keep our (HUGE) classroom library organized by genre so that my students can easily find the books, authors, and series that they love. They love to read and get excited when we get new books!

When reading comics or graphic novels, children slow down and look at the images and text to fully ingest what's happening in the plot.

For this project, I am trying to expand the selection of graphic novels in my classroom library with series such as "nvesti-gators, Agent Moose, Max Meow, and many others to encourage and engage my reluctant readers!

Graphic novels are also great for kids with learning disabilities. When kids have lower self-esteem because they aren't strong readers, that can discourage them from wanting to read. But graphic novels are a great way to promote literacy because kids don't feel as "embarrassed" as they might if they were given a "baby" book with lots of pictures.

Thanks for supporting my project to bring more comic-style books and graphic novels into my classroom!
