Great Graphic Novels

My students need 50+ graphic novels, including a No Fear Shakespeare version of "Romeo and Juliet" and titles from the "Bone Series" and "Geronimo Stilton Series".

Grades 6-8

I teach library media skills at a middle school for grades 6th through 8th grade in Illinois.

We do not have the money to provide new materials for our graphic reading corner. For some of our students this is the only type of material they are willing to read. So I do not want them to stop reading now that they have discovered they like pleasure reading!

We need to add new titles to our collection to keep our reluctant readers coming back for more material. We want our students to improve their reading quality enough that they will eventually begin reading more difficult materials. Until then, we want to keep them hooked on reading by supplying more graphic novels. We have included classic graphic novels in our collection as a way to begin interest in more difficult novels in the regular fiction section of the library.

Your help will enable my students to continue reading and continue improving their reading abilities. There is a lifetime benefit for the students who become good readers and their communities.
