Reading Is An Adventure

Help me give my students these graphic novels that will engage and excite my young readers and will hook them into a lifetime of being a reader.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kerai's classroom raised $270

My Project

These graphic novels will hook even the most reluctant reader.

Graphic novels from the Babymouse, Dogman and Big Nate series are engaging and will offer a window into adventure!

My students need these graphic novels to entice them to read more and to write about what they have read as well as share their reading with friends. Hearing my students discuss books and share insight and book recommendations is so wonderful to see and hear. Having these graphic novels in my classroom will get my students hooked on reading and having titles in a series will allow my students to continue the adventure with beloved characters.
