My Project

Many of my high school students are out of the habit of reading, and as I'm sure you know, it can be tough to reengage in a world of TikTok and distractions. Behold the perfect reentry point: the amazing graphic novel. Graphic novels are terrific at improving our reading and visual literacy skills, improving vocabulary, and offering all the good things of traditional formats.

Students requested the graphic novels on this list as they are new editions of some of their favorite series.

I'm excited to offer these as we always need more graphic novels to serve the high demand.
