The Need to Read

Help me give my students a need to read! Many of my students are reluctant readers and I believe they just haven't found the right book. Graphic novels are always a way to pull one in.

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

With the variety of screens available to students today, the desire to read is decreasing at an alarming rate. I always tell kids when they tell me they hate reading, "Reading loves you, you just haven't found the right book." I begin my quest to get a book in their hands that they finally can't put down. Lately, it feels more challenging. I am hoping by adding more graphic novels and series to my collection, many that which have regular text editions, I will get more of them hooked. Graphic novels are less intimidating. The pictures are more engaging. Once I get them hooked, we can go from there.
