My Project
Students often struggle with finding a way in to reading. Research shows that graphic novels are a gateway for the most reluctant readers to find their path into reading.
By helping rebuild our classroom library with these graphic novels, you will help my students as they fall in love with reading again and have a hand in molding a generation of readers.
My students ranged in reading levels from first grade all the way to college level, but no matter what their level, they love reading graphic novels. When a book is falling apart because it is so well loved, that tells me that it is one that must stay on my shelves. There are many beloved classics on this list that have fallen apart due to their continuous reads by my students.
By helping out our classroom library, you will have a direct impact on the future of hundreds of young minds waiting to explore what lies on the pages of these books. You will have a hand in encouraging them to be curious, think outside the box, and become well rounded citizens in our ever-growing world.
Donations to this project are now being matched, thanks to support from Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation.
