My Students
My students live in a very rural town in Arkansas. The majority of my students are on free or reduced lunches. My students are eager to learn and want to succeed. They are always willing to lend a helping hand to a classmate. They are very supportive of each other and excited to celebrate each others successes.
Some of my classes consist of a number of students who have been diagnosed with dyslexia.
The special education teacher and myself co-teach a large number of students who struggle to read but benefit enormously from the social aspects of inclusion.
My Project
Many of my students are reluctant readers and have not experienced a lot of success in reading. I love graphic novels and would love to have a set for my reluctant readers. Graphic novels have images that give an overview of the story and are fast paced. That is truly a plus for my boys, who will not spend a lot of time reading a book. As a teacher, I love graphic novels because my students will increase their vocabulary because space is limited. Each word is chosen carefully for maximum support.
Graphic novels deal with themes that are complex and this will challenge my reluctant readers beyond their reading level without frustration.
More than half of students from low‑income households
