My Students
Just learned to read? Too many words on the page? Pictures don't support good reading skills? Try reading a well-designed comic! And while you're at it, learn how to use quotation marks in your writing!
Our city school serves children from all socio-economic levels in its Montessori, Designed Instruction, and regular classrooms.
My students all struggle with reading, writing, and mathematics because they have a learning, health, or other disability. They are the best kids in the world, and I love to find ways to make their hard work pay off quicker and in multiple ways.
My Project
Reading today's Comic-Style books has so many benefits. The words are leveled, the graphics are designed to teach emotional response ("read that with expression" just became easier) and strong story lines show all the elements of a good story. And BONUS! We can use them to understand just what goes into those pesky quotation marks classroom teachers demand third graders to use. With these Comic-style books, my students will also learn how to analyze plot, storyline, and problem/solution. This will make sense as they learn to plan their own writing.
I've seen my students learn to read, and many use the stories we've read to provide a basis for their own writing.
This is GOOD! Now my classroom needs books that will enable them to do this at a lower level. The TOON books, several of which have won awards, will make that easier. Your support of this reading project will have as great an impact on writing!
