Research shows students who live in low-income areas enter Kindergarten knowing 15,000 words less than their middle-class income peers. In order to narrow the gap, students need constant exposure to words and language. Literature provides the perfect opportunity for students to learn new terms, ideas, languages and more. When students can make personal connections to the literature, they are more engaged, inquisitive, intrigued and vested in their learning. They hold themselves accountable when they can claim ownership of their learning. Although my school is culturally & racially diverse, most books available do not reflect the diversity of the student population. I would like for my students to be able to see themselves, their loved ones, their peers, their languages and their celebrations represented in the books they are learning to read. When they see themselves in their learning materials, they gain a sense of ownership and accountability to their classrooms, their school system, their community and the world. Dankie, Shukran, Xie Xie, Tak, Kiitos, Merci, Danke, Toda, Sukria, Gracias, Arigato, Gratzie, Asante, Spasibo, Obrigado, Thank You!!!!
