My Project
My students must keep up with the latest advancements in education to spark an interest in reading. Education is changing every single day, and so are the interest of my students. Students in my classroom like to read about superheroes and villains. I don't have a large collection of books, so I would like to have books will hold their interests and keep them reading in my classroom.
My students are struggling readers that will often pick up comic books because the pictures in it and visuals are less intimidating than a typical books.
I want to help my students to learn that reading is fun is perfect way to build their intrests. They usually like comic books as a gateway to better reading skills for reluctant readers. My students will love getting their hands on these books.
