Let the Novel Adventures Begin!

Help me give my students excitement and less anxiety about picking up a thick book and being able to read it without feeling self conscious. Graphic novels are the helpful go between!!

My Students

My students are from grades K - 5. They a are compassionate and creative mixture of all races. We live in a rural area with a high poverty population. I have students who check out large books daily. These students use their library books as an escape for themselves and their younger siblings whom they read their adventures aloud to every evening. I am not asking for help getting books for those avid readers. I am asking for help get more on level books and more specifically, Graphic Novels for those students who are just starting to emerge as readers. A large number of our students are those who are on the bubble of becoming a good reader or falling farther behind. I've found that students respond to the less intimidating pages of Graphic the Novels. These books provide a gateway to easing the anxiety of a new or not so fluent reader to have a big book like everyone else who in turn will be more comfortable, in time, reading a regular book without pictures. My library only has one shelf with Graphic Novels currently and those poor books never get to stay there for long. :-)

My Project

Graphic Novels will bridge the gap for those who are emerging from picture books into chapter books. They also give our struggling students a much needed break from the anxiety of trying to read a large word only filled chapter book. These students are better able to understand the story due to having artwork to go along with it. Students are also filled with less anxiety because they are able to carry a larger book out of the library just like all of their other classmates. In our library we are very limited on the amount of Graphic Novels we have. The books we do have are almost never on the shelf and always checked out. I am asking for your help in getting more of these very popular but very helpful and necessary books that are helping our students become better readers. Thank you.
