The new texts have made a profound impact on our classroom and have sparked a love of reading in many of our students. Graphic novels offer a unique way to introduce students to complex themes such as identity, loss, and social justice, while also fostering important literacy skills. The combination of visual and textual elements helps struggling readers build confidence, while allowing all students to think critically and creatively about the world around them. We are excited to see how much joy and engagement these books bring to our students, as they explore these themes in new, meaningful ways.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading has become an immersive and dynamic experience. Students are deeply engaged, using the visuals to help them interpret and understand the text in a more complex way than they might with traditional novels. Students who have struggled with reading comprehension in the past, have really found a new level of confidence in themselves as readers. It's incredibly rewarding to witness students discover the power of storytelling through this unique medium. Your donation has made all of this possible, and we are deeply grateful for your support in helping our students grow as readers and thinkers.","fullyFundedDate":1740586295829,"projectUrl":"project/boost-reading-confidence-with-graphic-no/9122678/","projectTitle":"Boost Reading Confidence With Graphic Novels","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lewis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp2191332_orig.png?crop=720,720,x717,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1574275157574","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/lewislearners"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_68623","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":778,"numTeachers":37,"percentFrplEligible":29,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":82,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"21.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":false,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":85.2,"schoolId":68623,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Mason Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Mason Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/michigan/mason-public-schools/mason-middle-school/68623"}
