Students who read books that reflect their culture are more engaged readers! Having these books in my classroom will not only promote engagement, it will also promote inclusion as they learn about immigrants while reading, "Passage to Freedom." This is especially important in helping build empathy and acceptance for other cultures. Help me update my classroom library with books that highlight a variety of different cultures that represent my students' diversity.
Kids love stories and their eyes light up when they can identify with characters that look and talk like them.
It's so exciting when children read about similarities and differences that inspire them to make connections with both their own lives as well as their classmates.
It is important to teach young scholars to respect and celebrate each other.
Stories can introduce different cultural aspects, offer new experiences and viewpoints, and teach children to appreciate similarities and differences and respect one another.
Celebrating our uniqueness has helped us build a special classroom community during the pandemic and we want to continue growing our minds by reading stories from around the world!
