The goal of The Gift of Literacy is to provide students with an opportunity to improve their literacy skills, increase their ability to negotiate the meaning between text and images, accurately convey and interpret context for words and grammar (see Schwarz and Rubinstein-Ávila), refine their artistic/illustrative abilities, and to assist our kids to achieve their goal of becoming productive members and future leaders of society.
You may be wondering how your donation of Manga and Anime books/items will positively improve student literacy. In short, academic studies and real-world teaching practices indicate that students are more likely to engage with material that directly appeals to them more so than with materials that do not.
We will use the manga and anime mediums graciously provided through your donation(s) to provide literacy scaffolding that meets students "where they currently reside" in their academic learning. Thereby reinforcing what students already know while still providing mechanisms to help each student improve their comprehension, fluency, and overall mastery of written text.
The donations you provide will be utilized on campus during Society meetings and properly checked out from our meeting room by Society members for at home use (our campus does not contain a library facility).
