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

It goes without saying that reading levels are in a state of crisis across the nation. Waning attention spans are on the rise as the pandemic and the increase of social media continue to take their toll.

One of the best ways to increase student reading is simply to meet student interests.

Often students are discouraged from reading manga and graphic novels in hopes of cultivating interest in longer prose. As a result, they are often left with incomplete series and a limited availability of desired material.

I feel that by meeting students' desires and providing a complete series, student reading habits will naturally develop. This project is aimed at adding high interest and explicitly requested graphic novels to our classroom library to meet student demand and ultimately cultivate those habits.
