My Project

These graphic novels will help my struggling readers learn to love books! In my diverse ESE classroom, students struggle with both not relating to books, but also finding grade-level novels to be too daunting.

I would love to build a classroom library with a diverse set of graphic novels for my students.

I have witnessed my students' love and excitement for graphic novels when they have been brought into my classroom in the past. These novels will assist us with projects, small-group readings, discussions about other cultures, and social-emotional learning. Most of all, they will help my students increase their reading levels and learn to love reading books.
