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

Help me with those who may struggle to read prose, access to new graphic novel adaptations of some of the best young adult literature. Graphic novels provide students with a visual representation of must-read fiction!

Up-to-date young adult literature, especially graphic novels, attract even the most reluctant readers, which is one of my main objectives this year.

Help me give my students the experience of an adventure, the opportunity to see new places, and the ability to see through someone else’s perspective through reading. My students say that graphic novels grab their attention and the images help with reading comprehension.
