Reaching Reluctant Readers
Hooray! This project is fully funded
I teach eighth grade Reading to about 75 students, whose reading level ranges from 3rd grade to past high school. This also includes Spanish speaking students new to the US. Our school is an urban public school with a 95% poverty rate.
Many students have not been exposed to books outside of school. Therefore students do not realize reading is not always boring. There is something out there for everyone.
Graphic novels are a great way to grab that student that thinks reading is boring or dumb. The illustrations grab the attention and the student and before they know it POW! They are reading.
Your assistance in grabbing the reluctant reader will help me fill the empty gap between their ears and fill it with knowledge, excitement, and the desire to read more.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
