Grabbing Readers with Graphic Novels

Help me give my students the gift of engaging reading. Kids LOVE graphic novels and we are sorely understocked in this genre. We would love to encourage the love of words with some more of these books!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I love my students for many reasons, but mostly because they are eager to learn. They work hard each and every day and I would love to encourage a deeper love of reading that does two things at once: builds literacy skills WHILE allowing the to feel like they are getting a break! It's genius!

Graphic novels make kids think they aren't really working!

They fall into the world of the book, engaging their minds, building vocabulary, empathy, and tons of literacy skills, all the while feeling like it's easy! This builds confidence, enjoyment, discussion, book shares, and leads them down the road to try out new authors and genres. What more could a teacher ask for?

My students are special because they really are some of the most compassionate students I have ever had. They work so cooperatively with each other, they work hard, and they strive for bigger and better things. They take feedback and run with it, seeking to improve their academic understanding and growing from their mistakes. My hope is this book collection and charting items will help us to create a "Recommends" wall that will get them fired up about reading, planting a deep seed of literacy love within them that continues to grow over the years.
