My students are avid readers who are excited for the newest books even over distance learning. They still send me recommendations of books they wish we had in the library and they still are excited readers who love to share the books they have been enjoying at home. We all live in an urban area that has experienced a lot of shut down to Covid. Despite this, these students still want books!
My Project
Graphic novels are amazing. They help reluctant readers to pick up books and they give advanced readers exposure to different mediums. Manga, in particular, attract struggling readers who may be hesitant to pick up a traditional chapter book but are willing to teach themselves to read "backwards" and right to left. It is quite impressive!
Unfortunately, graphic novels and graphic novels series are nearly impossible to keep up with!
New books come out all the time (and sadly these are the books that seem to disappear from the library the most as well). These projects on Donor's Choose help me keep the graphic novel section as appealing and up to date as possible.
