Raising a Reader is thrilled to present, on behalf of the Diverse Books for All Coalition, a webinar series, Pages of Inclusion: Celebrating the Need for Diverse Books in Early Learning Spaces. Through the series we will dive into an exploration that lays the foundation for using diverse books to create culturally relevant classrooms, nurture conversations about race, identity and belonging, and promote critical early learning concepts.

On Thursday, September 5, 2024, we will hold the fifth installment of the series, Creating Belonging: Welcoming Students back to School with Diverse Books.

Featuring:

• Critical Learning Collaborative: Research on strengthening cultural literacy in schools
• A read aloud of America's Dreaming by Bob McKinnon
• AmazeWorks and Raising a Reader: Discussion of how to use diverse books to create a sense of belonging and welcome students back to school
