To engage my students in reading in science, I hope to provide unique materials including graphic novels and magazine-style books with embedded content. Dated textbooks push students to the internet to research and find answers. They avoid the rich books that can bring science to life. Graphic novels about science appeal to reluctant readers by embedding content into storytelling. They use text and images to make inferences and synthesize information, both of which are abstract and challenging skills for struggling and advanced readers. To reach out to my students beyond biology, magazine-style journalism with engaging images makes reading books more appealing than internet searches.
