Take a moment and think about the books that you remember most as a child. I'm pretty sure they included illustrations and/or experiences that mirrored your own. Viewing literature through a lens of windows and mirrors helps us understand that, in addition to texts being stories to be enjoyed, they are powerful tools of social justice. In the primary and intermediate grades as we are devoting an abundant amount of time to helping students become proficient readers, we must remember that students are discovering their place in school and the world, and the texts we provide access to inform this discovery. With access to mirror texts, students are able to see that their narrative matters, and with access to window texts, students learn to understand and appreciate the narratives of others. By donating to our project, you will give students the opportunity to read and engage in literature that reflects their life experiences and the person they see in mirror.
