Over long breaks from school, students from under-resourced families often fall behind because they don't have access to educational materials outside of school. This holiday season, I'd like to help ensure my students don't fall behind with their reading and writing by providing them with a favorite title and fun writing materials. This year, the big hits are graphic novels that allow the students to successfully read an entire novel with the helpful linguistic support of the many illustrations as they work to improve their vocabulary and reading comprehension skills. I also included in my request a special treat for my students--the Pop-it bracelet--that has been shown to help alleviate anxiety. Time away from school can be stressful for many students whose families experience food insecurity as well as overall economic insecurity, especially during the holiday season.
