As a member of a marginalized community (LGBTQ) I feel it is important for all communities to be represented.
We’re all people. ♥️
I’m a Ready Readers volunteer with preschoolers from diverse neighborhoods.
To share books that represent my neighborhood.
Teach My Kid to Read promotes the two roads that lead to skilled reading; language comprehension skills and decoding skills. The Read in Color program enables all children to access literature that reflects their culture, family structure and language. We’re excited to bring these books to our diverse community!
I think it’s important for everyone to see someone who looks like them in their favorite books.
To promote reading in our community and to foster diversity, equity and inclusion
