Because the characters are exciting and familiar, my students feel more confident trying to read in English.\r\nMany students who were shy or unsure about reading are now excited to read these books. The pictures help them understand the story, and they love talking about Captain America. Some students act out the stories, while others proudly share new words they have learned.
