Our new K-8 school is located in north Phoenix , and our students come from varied backgrounds. We have a brand new library, however, we have a single copy of most titles. Many of our graphic novels have become very popular. Our library procedures look a bit different this year, none the less, our students are still checking out library books. It's a joy to see their faces when they receive the book they have chosen to read.
Most students at our school love to read; however, like all schools, we have emerging and reluctant readers.
Students who read these graphic novels find reading fun and begin to read more for enjoyment! Students love receiving that book that they have selected to check out and read. It's rewarding to see them grow into lifelong readers.
My Project
Graphic Novels are cartoon drawings and words that tell a story and are published as a book. Even classics and non-fiction can be presented in this format.Emerging and reluctant readers are less intimidated by this format since there are fewer words while still being exposed to the same content as their peers. Graphic novels are a gateway to better reading skills for reluctant and emerging readers.
We currently have 1 copy of most of our graphic novel titles in our current collection, and the students are waiting for that title to be returned so that they can check it out.
Some times there can be up to 5 students waiting for a book. This project will help me to put more copies of the popular graphic novels in the students hands. Let's get more students excited about reading, and turn them into lifelong readers.
