My Project

My students are fun, positive, and love to learn. We live in a rural area where students sometimes are not exposed to the world. Reading gives my students a chance to experience adventure, intrigue, and different perspectives.

My English Language Learners love graphic novels because even though they sometimes are just learning the English language they have pictures to guide them.

Struggling readers experience the same positive effects.

Graphic novels develop and reinforce reading skills like inferencing, demonstrate punctuation and grammar rules, and explain figurative language. Helping my students learn to read is essential to their success.
