Class Tech Tips Spotlights Our ELA Pilot

Class Tech Tips

Dr. Monica Burns of Class Tech Tips walked teachers through our new ELA pilot program, which uses graphic novels to engage every reader.
Reaching every reader in your ELA classroom can feel like a tall order. You might have some readers ready for chapter books, others who need extra support, and multilingual learners building English vocabulary all in one room. When I was teaching fifth grade, it was often hard to find high-interest, engaging texts that students were excited to read, and were at the correct level.
If you’ve ever considered using graphic novels in your classroom, there is a new pilot program you’ll want to check out. It includes a curriculum that supports teachers as they introduce graphic novels to their students.
Today on the blog, we’ll take a look at Dizzy Doom Kids. Whether you teach 3rd grade ELA or work with 7th graders in a summer learning program, this adaptable curriculum is perfect for educators who want to boost student engagement and support literacy development. They have a new pilot program you won’t want to miss!
From Class Tech Tips
On Class Tech Tips, Dr. Monica Burns introduced teachers to the Dizzy Doom Kids ELA pilot program, a graphic-novel-based curriculum built on the Digital Lizards of Doom series.
The post covers how the 16 lessons follow a read, discuss and create framework, and why high-interest graphic novels work well in classrooms with a wide range of readers, including multilingual learners and students with IEPs.
