“In 2023, Bat City Comic Professionals launched a partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of Manatee County. During the summer, we led comic writing workshops for every attendee at all six locations. We also hosted summer reading lessons for the middle school aged children across the two main facilities, hosting 6 classes total in which the students worked to enhance their knowledge of skills such as inference and evidence, discerning facts in articles, comparison and contrasting of texts, and reading aloud. We also worked with their Kindergarten and First grade students during the school year across the six locations. At these classes, students would listen to a story about how to be a hero then discuss their ideas on ways they could be a hero for their community. After the students had completed the discussion, each student would design their own hero using the behaviors they described and then explain it to their classmates. We also partnered with The Patterson Foundation to participate in the International Remake Learning Days event to help families discover new ways to learn together. We created the Academic Avengers Reading Academy, an interactive experience where students of all ages and their parents would participate in writing and reading challenges with superhero themes to learn new skills related. We also hosted an Educator seminar during Remake Learning Days that allowed educators a chance to learn new techniques for using comics in their classrooms and provided them with free books for their classrooms. Story Spelunkers Book Club became a full-fledge in-house reading program this year, where students came together to read a title aloud and then worked on certain reading skills themed around the book that we were working with. Attendees meet once a month at Bat City to read, write, and create around the book of the month.”
