My Project

Teaching in a Title 1 school I have a group of diverse students. I also have students of different reading levels. I am trying to add to my library and have different options of books for my students. I am researching the newest and greatest graphic novels. These books are great for kids who get overwhelmed looking at a "normal" novel. The graphic novels have exciting pictures and less text to help students who may have a harder time reading. I know I have seen my students check out the "Bad Guys" series from the library. They are the first to go and so I would like to have different sets for my kids to choose from.
