My Project
My students have often struggled to find reading options that engage them and inspire a love of reading. Graphic novels are a wonderful incentive and a way to hook students when it comes to reading.
Graphic novels are often the first snagged off of our small library shelves to be checked out and you have the opportunity to partner with me to provide my students with a variety of engaging choices. I have chosen a broad variety of graphic novels that range from historical fiction to fantasy to classics and more. The students would benefit greatly from your support.
"It is found that the SRE using graphic novels improves students’ reading comprehension and reading motivation at a statistically significant level. Evident also from the students’ journals was that students who improved significantly in reading comprehension scores seemed to develop intrinsic motivation towards reading." Language Education and Acquisition Research Network Journal, Volume 13, Issue 2, July 2020.
It is scientifically proven that graphic novels improve comprehension and aid students in developing an intrinsic interest in reading. Read is a lifelong skill. The mental benefits of reading include preventing memory loss, building a critical mind, increased concentration and increasing empathy. You have the opportunity to help students develop these skills, setting them up for lifelong success.
Please consider this amazing opportunity!
