Graphic Novels for Special Education

Help me give my students graphic novels in order to allow for equitable access to the general education curriculum for Special Education students.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Kidder's classroom raised $557

My Project

Graphic novels help students, especially students in special education, make the literature that their peers are reading accessible and relatable to them. The concepts and themes become easier to understand with the added modality of visual learning.

Many students do not read at grade level, the No Fear books coupled with a graphic novel help tremendously for students to access and enjoy literature.

In my classes we read the graphic novels orally. Students are assigned parts, like a play, and they read out loud. This allows us to improve their reading fluency skills while accessing the literature, as well as helping them to feel comfortable reading out loud in a group.
