My Project

This project is a collection of graphic novels spanning all different genres. The purpose is to inspire my reluctant readers to become better by allowing them access to all different settings, characters, and plots through a more visual lens.

Allowing the students to read fantasy, re-imaginings of classics, and nonfiction through the lens of graphic novels sets them up to become more engaged readers.

These materials will aid in their comprehension of the stories as well as inspire them to read more. These works will set the students up for excellent reading, writing, and discussion!
