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 get my students hooked on reading! Reluctant readers can be overwhelmed and discouraged with chapter books and novels. This is when graphic novels come to the rescue! I am hoping to expand my graphic novels bookshelf to encourage more students to pick up an a book and read!

What's better than one graphic novel?

How about a whole series?!?! The graphic novel Spy School is part of a multi-book series. Once student read the first, they are hooked and look forward to reading the rest. This collection will help foster student interest and gain chronic readers!
