Exciting Graphic Novels for 1st Grade

Help me give my students graphic novels This will be their introduction to them. Struggling readers would benefit from these books and those who are more advanced will practice their skills and increase their self-confidence.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our first-grade inclusion students read on a variety of levels. Some are learning their beginning skills and others are more advanced. These graphic novels would benefit all and be their first encounter with graphic novels.

Students need to be exposed to different genres of books to encourage them to read at school and at home.

Graphic novels would excite my first-graders and introduce them to another type of book.

Our students participate in a nightly, school-wide reading program. These books could be utilized both at home and at school.

These books make reading fun as it should be. I'd like to see more of my students engaged in reading especially the reluctant ones.
