My Project

I am asking for some new graphic novels and manga books. I have noticed that my English Language Learners love reading graphic books. They have flown through the books that I have so I want to get them more! The more they read the faster they learn the language!

I also want to get some small incentive prizes for accomplishing their reading goals.

All my other students also need new books and incentives. These will be used for all of my students who are reading below grade level. I can't wait to show them all the new books!
