Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 18

My students were over the moon excited when they saw all the graphic novels. They love reading them so much, I can't keep them on my shelves! My struggling readers have gone from not enjoying reading to not being able to put a book down. This project has been so VERY successful. Reading skills have increased with all my students and I know it is due to all the reading they are now doing. They read so much, my class actually won the Read-a-Thon we had at school. They read more minutes than any other class at VME. They read 26,078 minutes and most of the books read were the classrrom graphic novels supplied by this amazing grant!

Original Grant Overview

Goal

Students will improve their reading skills (decoding, fluency, comprehension) by reading graphic novels. They will also develop a love of reading.  

 

What will be done with my students

Graphic novels are highly engaging. All students want these books! They are so popular, they are not able to get them at the library. In class, students will get to choose from these graphic novels. They will read, practice their fluency skills and work on their comprehension all through these books and class incentives. They will be so happy to read these engaging graphic novels, they won't realize how much they are learning. The key to helping students be successful is to make learning fun and enjoyable.  

 

Benefits to my students

Learning to read can be challenging. This grant will provide my students with a fun and engaging way to learn to read. Many students do not enjoy reading. They need a fun series to get hooked on reading. I want all students to improve their reading skills, but more importantly I want them to love to read. This is a lifelong skill that is invaluable.  

 

Budget Narrative

$248.50 will provide my students with graphic novels that they will be excited to read! Their reading, comprehension and fluency will all improve due to these highly engaging books.
