My students are brilliant! The students I work with are English language learners. They are literally from everywhere. Our class is the definition of diverse. These students speak multiple languages with ease but struggle a bit with the reading and writing portion. They come to school every day eager to work hard and are excited to learn.
My Project
My students are reading, reading, reading and I could not be more thrilled! These students have been labeled as non-readers, yet this year I am struggling to keep up with their varied book requests.
I was resistant at first, but now I am a believer because graphic novels provide the scaffolding English Language Learners need to access the text.
Students are becoming more confident and adventurous readers thanks to the support offered through graphic novels. Please donate and provide eager students with new copies of hilarious graphic novels to choose from.
