My Project

5th graders are naturally curious about science and history. Unfortunately, for many, textbooks are so text-dense that they are overwhelmed from the beginning.

Graphic novels are a great way to get 5th graders learning about important topics in history and science.

They are highly engaging and also rich in information. In addition, may graphic novels are rich in important vocabulary, and because they have picture support, students can make sense of the complex text.

These are the perfect tools to help reluctant readers get into books, while at the same time deepening their knowledge base.
