Our small rural school was hit hard in the second week of March 2020 when COVID-19 struck America. We thought, like the rest of America, we would only be closed for a few weeks and everything would go back to normal. Well, it didn't. Our kids suffered. They suffered mentally, socially, and academically. As a district, we did, as many others, gave ourselves a day or two, got on the computer and did the best we could! Many of our students had their same library books through the summer. By having the same book for six months, many of these students were stuck in the same fantasy world they were trying to escape to or had lost their fantasy world somewhere within that six-month frame. Books give kids an escape from the harshness of the reality that is happening around them and this past year has been a hard one. While being at home, many of our students have lost momentum on their reading gains and have stalled where we left off last year. Reading comes easy for some, for some it's a struggle, and other’s lack interest. Besides the learning part of reading, many of students are slowly losing the interest or desire to read. Our teachers, paraprofessionals, kitchen staff, administration, and janitorial staff do an amazing demonstrating the importance of reading and an education. By expanding our graphic novel section, we hope to increase the interest level for some of our reluctant readers, while giving our struggling readers a wider selection of material to choose from. Our students between 3rd and 8th grades, use the Accelerated Reader (AR) program to monitor their reading progress. Graphic novels are a wonderful source of high reading interest at a lower AR reading level.
