Going Graphic: Graphic Novels for the Youngest Readers

My students need accessible graphic novels. These 40 new texts allow access for all readers while requiring inferencing. Toon Graphics is an award-winning publisher with texts that will appeal to all ages.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Freeland's classroom raised $597

My Students

Our focus this year at BPE is to get more books in the hands of kids! We've had various projects to inspire readers from K-6th grade, including a school-wide reading competition and a "lending library" in our entryway. Whenever new books are displayed in our library, in the classroom, or even in the entryway, students swarm the area, excited to find the perfect book. They'll trade books in the hallways, classrooms, and outside on the playground, carting them around in backpacks, lunch boxes, or carrying them in their hands.

Students at BPE LOVE getting new books and, even more, love talking about their newest read!

Some of the most popular titles right now are any kind of graphic novels. As a school-based specialist, I'll have kids in every classroom seek me out to tell me what they're reading. Students in the lower elementary are so proud when they've read their first graphic novel, as finally they're reading what they see the older kids read.

My Project

At our school, 50% of our students are language learners, about 75% qualify for free-and-reduced lunch, and the majority are performing below grade level in reading. These are students who are excited to learn more and care about doing their best, but they don't always have access to the materials that would support them.

We need to hook our youngest readers at an early age, and the easiest way is to give them access to new texts in a medium they would love to read!

I want to expand what our students know about graphic novels by sharing with them a wide variety of graphic novels so they can "be like the older kids" and love reading!
