My Project

My students are a lively bunch with big hearts, boundless energy, and a growing love for stories that mirror their own passions—especially when it comes to sports! Whether it's football, basketball, skateboarding, or mountain biking, these kids light up when they read stories they can see themselves in.

Jake Maddox graphic novels are the perfect way to capture their attention and build strong literacy skills at the same time.

The dynamic illustrations paired with fast-paced, relatable plots make these books especially powerful for reluctant readers, emerging readers, and those who just need a fresh spark to fall in love with books again.

These titles will help my students strengthen their fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary—all while cheering on characters who are learning to persevere, make good choices, and believe in themselves. With your support, we can fill our classroom library with exciting stories that look like the sports they play and feel like the dreams they chase.

Thank you for helping us turn the page on boring books and start scoring big with reading!
