The Power of Graphic Novels


Deavion is addicted to the Lunch Lady series

Today when we were in the hallway:

Deavion: Mr. Welch are we doing independent reading?
Me: No, we have to finish a reading test.
Deavion looks disappointed.
Me: Do you want to do independent reading.
Deavion nods.
Me: Why do you like independent reading so much now?
Deavion: Because I get to read with other people.
Me: Why's that important to you?
Deavion: Because when I get stuck on a word there's someone there to help me. So I don't have to sit there and just be stuck.


Clearly Deavion is enjoying partner reading and is becoming a better reader for it :-)
