Going Graphic - New Books for Kids!

Help me give my students exciting new graphic novels that represent them to inspire reading across our school!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Freeland's classroom raised $1,643

This project is fully funded

My Students

Our focus every year at BPE is to get more books in the hands of kids! We've had various projects to inspire readers from preK-5th 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, we qualify one hundred percent for free or reduced price lunch. Fifty percent of our students are language learners 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. Also, with a lack of reading materials at home, the majority of students get texts to read from school and do the majority of reading at school.

We want to be able to fill our classrooms and backpacks with new texts that students love to read!

During the pandemic we sent home many books with students and also revamped classroom shelves to better represent the diversity in our school. These new graphic novels will serve as mirrors that reflect our students, windows into other worlds, and doors to their future goals in literacy!

We will be starting a before-school Reading Club focusing on graphic novels, open to third through fifth grade students. We want to provide a variety of texts to expand what our students know about texts published in this medium, as well as a regular place and time to develop and share their passion. Getting these new texts is essential to the success of this Reading Club!
