My Students

My students inspire and surprise me all of the time! I have the privilege of working with small groups of students who work hard, collaborate, and continue to build their reading stamina and language skills every day. We live in a small mountain community in Northern California. My first through fifth grade students, many of whom are English Learners, need additional support with reading, writing, and language development. They thrive in learning environments where they feel safe taking risks; where they perceive reading and writing as positive and attainable; and where they know their voices will be heard and honored by those around them.

I have found that my students LOVE sharing what they're reading with one another and a text set of comic books will allow them to read, discuss, and pass on what they are reading to others.

My Project

My students love reading, but have a difficult time finding books that they can access at their emerging reading levels. Comic books, with their detailed illustrations and accessible text, provide excellent access to early readers, and help them to develop essential comprehension skills. We only have one TOON Book, Luke on the Loose, and my students pore over it together and patiently wait their turn to read it! I know that the addition of these thirteen new titles, as well as another copy of one of our "hug books" will bring exponential benefits to our reading experiences!

There are many potential literacy and language benefits that these books have to offer, but most importantly, these comic books are exciting and motivate children to become lifelong readers!
