The I Survived: The Grizzly Attack graphic novels and our class set of Holes have already given my students new reasons to pick up a book, talk about what they are reading, and challenge themselves as readers.\r\n\r\nThese books are helping me teach much more than reading fluency. Through I Survived, students are learning how to use text features, illustrations, dialogue, and context clues to understand a story. They are practicing making inferences, identifying important details, determining the main idea, and explaining how illustrations and words work together to develop a story. The exciting historical survival stories also give us opportunities to discuss perspective, character traits, cause and effect, and how authors build suspense.","fullyFundedDate":1778262197101,"projectUrl":"project/open-the-door-to-reading/10186779/","projectTitle":"Open the Door to Reading","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Henson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp3117032_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1549235990515","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/amandahenson"},{"teacherId":3117032,"projectId":10116791,"letterContent":"We can not express how happy we are with having the resources we need for a successful day of learning. \r\n\r\nWith your donations of so many pencils, we no longer have to worry about where the next box of pencils will come from.
