My Project

I teach reading intervention to 3rd, 4th, & 5th graders. My students are amazing kids who work hard each day to improve at reading. They love to borrow books to take home to practice reading, and they all have their favorite series that they love to read. Graphic novels are their favorite genre because they offer comprehension support with lots of illustrations and short sentences.

Now that we are halfway through the school year, my students need new books to read in their favorite series to keep them motivated to read!

These books will inspire my students to keep practicing their reading skills, and that will help them become more successful at reading!
