Integrating Graphica to Engage Young Readers in the Classroom

This Wiki is a multimedia website designed for educators who are interested in and the impact they have on student learning, especially in regards to reading and writing. In addition, graphica is being used as a reading/writing connection.

As the picture of literacy changes, literacy instruction in the classroom must keep pace with the change. Today's children and adolescents work and struggle with, as well as choose from, a multimodality of literacy. It is important to tap into our students' creativity as well as meet the ever-changing face of standards in curriculum. Teachers, need to understand that strategies to improve vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, and writing remain a vital part of instruction. Graphica may be the literature genre to renew student interest in reading and writing and using various strategies to enhance their learning. Graphica may be the genre that encourages or renews children and adolescents' interests in reading and writing while also supporting teacher's curriculum to meet Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
