My Project

My students are from all over the world-Somalia, Rwanda Guatemala, Venezuela, Nepali, Syria, Iraq, Tanzania, Congo, and Uganda to name a few. I have over 10 languages spoken in my classroom. As an ESL teacher, I want to provide my students with books that represent the array of personalities and cultures that are in my classroom. When students don't feel connected, they won't learn and achieve as much as they should. These books will give my students a chance to see themselves portrayed in books and will help build a safe and diverse community. Reading is proven to increase comprehension, vocabulary, and writing skills. Reading for pleasure improves students’ abilities in other content areas like social studies, science, and math. Comics and graphic novels will help me engage my most reluctant readers to read and stay engaged in a book.

Reading is reading, no matter the format!

Comics and graphic novels develop and reinforce reading skills like inference, demonstrate punctuation and grammar rules, and explain figurative language. It's low-pressure reading that will help my students develop their skills as readers and encourage them to pick up more books. These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I want to create.

Comics and graphic novels have exciting characters that my students know and can relate to! These books will give my students a chance to see that print-rich books exist in all genres.
