My Students

Energetic! Creative! Deserving! Curious! Determined! These are just some of the words that come to mind when thinking of my students. I am privileged to be surrounded by students who are ready to learn, ready to participate and eager to be involved.

My students need support in acquiring English and graphic novels will help!

Although many are American born, many others have relocated from other countries and have left their country for a variety of different reasons. My students are mostly Hispanic, African American and Multiracial and are all English Language Learners. Many of my students already speak two languages and are working towards learning their third or fourth language.

Children with so much to offer should have easy access to materials that will support their learning. My students are hungry for books that enhance the language they are learning and are truly excited by the opportunity to read graphic novels. Unfortunately, much of the reading material do not contain the graphic supports that are needed. My students are ready to learn and motivated to do so. I am working to ensure that their classroom experience is surrounded with materials that continue to spark their curiosity.

My Project

Students learning English need opportunities to practice language while also encountering new and relevant vocabulary. However, often times books that are at their developing reading level are not high interest or age appropriate. By providing some of the top rated graphic novels, students will have access to high interest text and also have the opportunity to use pictures to support their reading and learning.

Graphic novels excite middle school readers and help create a passion for reading.

It is this passion that helps students acquire the language they need to be successful and compete with their native English speaking peers.
